focus booster is a simple and elegant application designed to help you eliminate the anxiety of time and enhance your focus and concentration.

focus booster is based on the Pomodoro time management technique. The anxiety triggered by “the ticking clock”, especially when a deadline is involved, leads to ineffective work and study habits which in turn lead to procrastination.

focus booster helps to eliminate that anxiety and turn time into an ally.

What is the pomodoro technique?:
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980's. It can be used for any kind of task and enables you to view time as a valuable ally in accomplishing what you want to do.

The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals (referred to as "pomodoros") separated by breaks and is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility.

There are five basic steps to implementing the technique:
• decide on the task to be done
• set the pomodoro (timer) to 25 minutes
• work on the task until the timer rings; record the task status
• take a short break (5 minutes)
• every four "pomodoros" take a longer break (15-20 minutes)
