This timer function based on the Pomodoro Technique, it is a time management system that encourages people to work with the time they have - rather than against it. Using this method, you break your workday into work and break chunks of time. The 52 minutes work and 17 minutes break is not random, it is believed as the most ideal time for this technique.
The idea behind the technique is that the timer instills a sense of urgency. Rather than feeling like you have endless time in the workday to get things done and then ultimately squandering those precious work hours on distractions , you know you only have limited minutes to make as much progress on a task as possible.
Additionally, the forced breaks help to cure that frazzled, burnt-out feeling most of us experience toward the end of the day. It’s impossible to spend hours in front of your computer without even realizing it, as that ticking timer reminds you to get up and take a breath.
