Do you have trouble concentrating on your work for long periods of time?  Do you find yourself getting bored and distracted by the huge amount of work ahead of you?  This app can help you manage your time and allows quick breaks between tasks, preventing you from getting burned-out.

On the main page, access the settings by tapping on the “i” in the upper right corner.  Adjust the number and length of the work units you want to do today.  Between each work unit you will get a quick break (“Break Time”), and then after a few of those, you will get a longer break (“Long Break Every…” and “Long Break Time”).  Tap “Save” when you’re done, then “Start Tomo” to begin the timer.

You’ll start with a WORK unit; try to stay focused on a single task until the timer runs out.  At the end, you’ll get a notification for a PLAY unit; take a break, get a drink, whatever you need to do to clear your mind.  When the timer hits zero again, another WORK unit will start… and so on.  Guaranteeing yourself a break every half hour will help keep you from procrastinating.

The app includes audio-visual reminders when the timer moves to the next phase, as well as pings to the Notification Center if the app is in the background (configure this in your System Settings).
