The Potato Timer is a productivity app used to help split a long task into short pomodoro periods.
This app is based on the principle that long tasks should be divided into smaller work periods. It helps usersndevote 25 minutes to focused, uninterrupted work (called a pomodoro), and then take a quick mental break for 5 minutes.
It’s based on the principles of primacy and recency from cognitive psychology. By taking breaks at short and regular intervals, we aid assimilation of new information. Once a set of 4 pomodori are completed, users report feeling a real sense of accomplishment, most report that they’re much more productive than they would’ve been otherwise.
