DeskPomo time manager

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. These intervals are known as “pomodori”, the plural of the Italian word pomodoro for “tomato”. The method is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility. —-copy from wikipedia.

As a maker, I’m really look high to the working productivity. Since that, I’ve been trying to use some time management app on my iphone. But after a period using I find out that the phone was just maked me distract all the time. I have been spent a large amount of time when facebook or twitter notification comes up which I don’t even notice. Finally, I‘ve decided to pick up my seeeduino and work out these little cute gadget which keep me focus on work.
