How to use a Pomodoro timer step by step

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Write down the task, press Start and work only on that for 25 minutes. When it rings, take the 5-minute break away from the screen; the timer moves to the next phase for you, and every fourth break is 15 minutes. In Settings you can change the lengths, turn the sound on or off and enable browser notifications so you notice the end even in another tab.
