Pomodoro project

This is a simple pomodoro project written in Go for my personal goals :). Feel free to use it!

Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

Usage

There are six steps in the original technique:

1. Decide on the task to be done.

2. Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally for 25 minutes).

3. Work on the task.

4. End work when the timer rings and take a short break (traditionally 5 to 10 minutes).

5. If you have fewer than three pomodoros, go back to Step 2 and repeat until you go through all three pomodoros.

6. After three pomodoros are done, take a long break (traditionally 20 to 30 minutes). Once the long break is finished, repeat to step 2.

After task completion in a pomodoro, any time remaining should be devoted to activities for instance:

1. Review your work just completed.

2. Review the activities from a learning point of view (ex: What learning objective did you accomplish? What learning outcome did you accomplish? Did you fulfill your learning target, objective, or outcome for the task?)

3. Review the list of upcoming tasks for the next planned pomodoro time blocks, and start reflecting on or updating those tasks.

Pomo usage

It is assumed that pomo will be used in a status bar like i3, dwmblocks, etc.

1. Download the binary files and put them in your $PATH.

2. Start the pomod daemon. For example:

$ pomod &

1. Interact with pomo client.

$ pomo -start

1. Get the duration.

$ pomo -get-duration

1. Set a new duration.

$ pomo -set-duration 45m
