The challenges are almost identical in Thunkable (i.e. Here’s a great overview from Fahad about how to build your own Pomodoro timer in Javascript: Build a Pomodoro timer using JavaScript - DEV Community

This week we’re back to the original format and hopefully you’ll be able to find a few moments to create this Pomodoro Timer. Adjust the amount of Pomodoros for said tasks accordingly.Hopefully you are all enjoying the new # wdc format as much as we are on the Thunkable team! One of my favourite things about Thunkable is that you can build pretty much any app you want and last week there were so many of your incredible apps and ideas on display - I think it was one of my favourite challenges we’ve ever run! Keep a log of completed Pomodoros, it keeps you accountable to your plan and helps you notice how productive you are or where, as well as how much you are getting distracted so you can plan to avoid those distractions in future.Īlways set your Pomodoros and what will be done in them the day before.Įvaluate after each week if you are estimating the time tasks take well. It can take up to 20 minutes to focus back on a task you were on if you are distracted for more than a few seconds.Ĭlose all apps, and windows and turn notifications off, even pop some earphones in and listen to some instrumental tracks so you can't be tempted to procrastinate by any 'ding's', messages and emails or even background noise. If you get interrupted during a Pomodoro, and it takes more than a few seconds to deal with, that Pomodoro is void, strike it and start again. Call them all back in 1 Pomodoro.ĭo not exceed 16 Pomodoro's a day, trust me when I say - focusing that intently during Pomodoros can be mentally tiring, you will likely not work at your best after 16, rest and recharge. Use the time on that same project - keep your focus on that. Re-read that email, re-edit the draft, learn more on that topic, think ahead to what the next tasks are on that project and spend time scheduling those. If you complete a task much quicker than the length of the Pomodoro you can 'overlearn' or 'keep working' it. If a single task takes more than 5 Pomodoro to complete - it needs to be broken up into smaller tasks and allocated Pomodoros for each.
