Why 25 Minutes? Custom Pomodoro Intervals (50/10, 30/5)

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Twenty-five minutes is short enough that starting feels easy and long enough to get into a task, which is why Cirillo chose it. It is not a rule: many people move to 50/10 or 45/15 for deep work, while 15/3 or 20/5 helps when focus is hard. Change the focus and break lengths in Settings; the timer remembers them in this browser.
