【題目】Four Apps to Boost Your Productivity

When working or studying, you can only focus for so long before your mind starts to wander. The Pomodoro Technique(番茄工作法) helps you avoid this issue by breaking your day up into 25`minute focus sessions followed by fiveminute breaks. Here's a quick dive into the Pomodoro Technique, followed by 4 of the best Pomodoro timer apps to help you get started.

Focus Booster (Web, Windows, macOS，iOS, Android)

● It lets you adjust the lengths of your focus and break sessions.

● Your data syncs across Focus Booster's web, mobile, and desktop apps.

PomoDoneApp (Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android)

● It lets you filter your data with powerful reporting options.

● With its Chrome extension, you can blacklist certain websites during your focus period.

Tomatoes (Web)

If you're struggling to stick with the technique and need some additional motivation, Tomatoes offers a solution: motivation via competition.

Get your coworkers involved, and compete against each other. It might even lead to useful data if one person in particular who works from home wins frequently.

Timerdoro (Web)

Sometimes, you need timers for more than just pomodoros. In that case, Timerdoro has a solution.

● It lets you create as many timers as you want to go off throughout the day.
