Learning Pomodoro technique using Pomotodo

My Pomodoro-timer ticks, thereby encouraging you describe Pomotodo application. That's about it I will tell you today.

With the Pomodoro technique, many familiar from notes and reviews. They are often divided into people who have improved their productivity with its help. For example, here description of Farida. However, when retelling the details are lost, obvious to the narrator, but are important to you. That's what happened for me with Pomodoro. In comparison with the same GTD it seemed to me frankly weak.

Everything changed six months ago. In addition Layfhakera, I read "Habrahabr" - the most popular website for IT specialists in RuNet. In June, one of the participants, "Habra" Alex Hawks put Pomodoro technique translation into Russian. As a result, my timer rang again. Rang out with full force. It sounds now, pushing her tick describe your app Pomotodo. That's about it I will tell you today.

Pomotodo includes:

• timer for reference 25-minute job and the 5-minute intervals for the rest;
• to-do list;
• tracker performed "tomatoes";
• performance graphics;
• synchronization between devices.

Pomotodo developers live in China. So do not be intimidated by characters in the pictures. I confess that I did not upload the data. Spending a whole "tomatoes" on it, to make patterns with the Russian text - it was a pity to time.

Timer

Timer - the foundation Pomodoro technique. In the appendix, he always starts at 25 minutes. Customize the duration of the timer can not be, but you can set whether the time the end of the phone call / vibrate and ticking in the process of "tomatoes".

After the call you must enter what you were doing. By default, the input box is the first task in the list. If you do not complete it fully, then I recommend a clarification.

By the way, to use the application you need to register on the site. After that, you will be offered a demonstration. In the course it is not only a demonstration of the interface, but also a timer of 25 seconds for example.

To-do list

Personally, I like hierarchical lists. In Pomotodo hierarchy organized using hashtags. When one of them are focused on protegirovannyh problems. Unfortunately, nested tasks and contexts is currently unavailable.

Cases in the list can be sorted by simply dragging. Naturally, there are editing and completion of the function. You can only delete business has been completed. For the problem was at the top, it is possible to fix (pin). It is necessary for the timer.

Tracker eaten "tomatoes"

After each "tomato" is not only a 5-minute break, but also a record of the execution. All your actions are going to the tracker. At the end of the day, you can see when and what you were doing. At such times, I not only watched the multitudinous work done, but also edit the name of the task.

graphics

Based on the tracker built your graphics performance. You can see what hours or days are the most productive. For an objective picture you need to use the application at least a couple of weeks.

Synchronization between devices

Currently Pomotodo presented in the form of multiple applications that are synchronized online. I will bring them in order of decreasing functionality implemented:

1. Web version.
2. Application for Android.
3. Chrome-application.
4. Optimized for iPhone iOS-app.

Unfortunately, hashtags are implemented only in the online version. Therefore, I have to plan to do on a computer. I'm attaching the problem today. Then it is easier to focus on them, tracking work using the iPad.

Duplicate again link to the website and I point them to the application.
