The Pomodoro

Pomodoro is a way to work for 25 minutes and rest for 5 minutes, 4 times, and then take a longer rest.

Accept It

It is to accept that your time is limited.

⚡ TRY IT
Fight time, or use the next 25?
Here, 25 minutes = 5 seconds.

Do not fight. Just use the next 25 minutes for 1 thing.
🙂 Calm. Only this 25 minutes.

Time Wins
