Hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive YouTube channel on today's feature. We're taking a look at an application
That is available through set app could be a focused pro. Now. This is an application
That is a Pomodoro timer. So we're going to be just over viewing a few of the features give you an idea what it does
You know, Pomodoro timers are a really effective way
to be able to manage sort of stints of time in terms of them to set a timer and
Get started with the tasks. It's becoming very popular in offices as a way to
Organize and allow save to keep focused. So it basically lives up here. It's what available for Mac
I believe they have an iPhone edition. I'll include any love relevant information in description below
but for example if I wanted to start a
25 minute timer I could easily do that. Now the great thing is obviously you can go off the traditional 25 minutes
Timers, but you can go to settings and you'll be able to find that in the COG. You can actually change the
the length of time over here
They work interval to anything from 15 minutes to 5 minutes to a longest in a 55 minutes
if not something you wouldn't work on so let's say I want to work on 20 minute stints with a
Four minute break just to be a little bit shorter
Obviously that's going to work out and you can also change the longer break durations
So that's every time you have four major cycles
It will open up a longer break which is aimed there. You've also got target intervals for the day
So for example, if I said that at 5:00 we could have that rolling
You've also got a few more settings, which I'll come back to you near the end of this video
So it's really simple. All you have to do is set a new task
and you can press add tasks to be able to get that started if I went and said
Film be focused Pro
video
Then I can press the play button and
naturally the timer begins
Okay, so it's really really simple as you can see the timer has gone
dramatically down here
During any session just to be clear. You can't pause it and play it which really helps when it comes to you know
I don't know some
Interruptions that might not necessarily be triggered by yourself like an employee
Asking you a question or even someone next to you. Just tapping you on the shoulder just curious about something
Very very short, so you might want to just pause it now
The good thing is you can access it in any time if you do get in a major interruption
Which will essentially skip the work interval
I do believe if you skip the work interval, it won't actually be logged as a task
Which is a bit of a shame, but then again, that's the whole
Methodology of the Pomodoro timer. So here we go
we're just about to finish her cycle as you can see a timer pops on and you can start your
Four-minute break that's the one we set up here so you can see down here that today at 1:00
So we've got one out of five tasks completed
you can go to this sort of tab and see that I've completed one cycle of this task and
What's quite handy is you will still be on that task when you're done
And you can actually choose how many Pomodoro time is you're going to be dedicating to it?
so for example, there was this task that I set up called new tasks and
I dedicated seven Pomodoro timers to it and
You can naturally hit play when you want to get started. You can sync up here and sync is a specific login feature
So you need to sign up and log in for that one
But if I wanted to add a new task, then I could so for example if there's something in the afternoon like edit
Code a video that I have to do then I can play the timer right here. So that's really easy and pretty non-disruptive
Now if I go back here I can
Obviously skip the break if I want to so I can carry on with the task or what I can do is
I can go and find the Edit code of video here and
Start beginning that tasks. That's how you switch between tasks once I complete this one here with the zero
We'll be added which means one full cycle has been dedicated to that and
Then once everything's finished you can give it a nice tick off
So I've filmed this video and I could say new task is done as well
Then like a go to done and I can see a little bit of a list of exactly what I've done now again
This doesn't link up with any of the applications that are out there already
There are other applications I'm looking to do what kind of Pomodoro timers connect with todoist
But this is a very simple one
it's available through as I mentioned the set app subscription, which is an app that I
Recommend, it's actually really easy to use but you can find specific productivity apps in this section and there's a whole host of them here
So I do recommend tracking about it's part of the Mac poor company
and they also do CleanMyMac which is another tool that I use it's not sponsorship, but I just
You know find that tools pretty decent and as you can see it works fairly simply
I guess for Mac users
now one of the finer things I totally missed out is you can tick off a task up here and
As you can imagine how that task has been completed
So guys a big thank you. Hopefully you found this video useful
Let me know in the comments below which apps you've used and whether this forum was useful for you
Anyway, guys make sure them agree. We keep productive and I'll see you guys very very soon Cheers ever
