Scheduling Breaks with Pomodoro
Pair 25/5 cycles with brain break activities from our library.
Published
You love Pomodoro in theory but skip the rest block every time. Here is how to make the five minutes actually count.
The Pomodoro Technique names work blocks and rest blocks. BrainBreak.org activities map cleanly onto five-minute rests.
Sample cycle
- 25 minutes deep work
- 5 minutes: box breathing + 20-20-20 eyes
- Every fourth cycle: 15-minute walk
Customizing intervals
Writers may prefer 45/10; classrooms may use bell schedules. Match break length to activity duration tags in our library.
