Focus Timer Extension

Focus Timer - a time management method based on 25-minute stretches of focused work broken by 5-minute breaks.

Focus Timer boost productivity in a number of ways:

- Focus: The method encourages you to work on a single task for a set amount of time, usually 25 minutes, which can greatly improve focus and concentration. This can make your work or studying more efficient and effective.

- Breaks: The technique involves taking short breaks (usually 5 minutes) after each time block (25-minute work period), which can help to prevent mental fatigue and maintain a high level of productivity throughout the day.

- Work-Life Balance: By dividing your day into clear work periods and breaks, the Focus Timer can help to improve your work-life balance. It allows you to ensure that you're not working or studying for too long without a break, which can be beneficial for your mental and physical health.

- Reducing Procrastination: The thought of working for just 25 minutes can be less daunting than the idea of working for several hours. This can make it easier to get started on tasks and reduce procrastination.
