Make a little room.
Use a five-minute countdown for a screen-free break, a quick desk reset or the first small step of a task. A short limit can help you decide what to do now without planning your whole day.
- Choose a break or one small action.
- Press Start timer. Step away from your screen or give that action your attention.
- When time is up, choose whether to return to work or begin another small task.
For a break, try stretching, getting a glass of water or looking away from the screen. This timer runs once; it does not automatically start another work interval.
A few useful answers.
What is a useful five-minute screen break?
Stand up, get some water or look away from the screen. Choose one simple activity rather than opening another feed. Leave the timer tab open if you want to hear the end of the break.
Can I use five minutes to start a task instead?
Yes. Choose a small action such as opening your notes, clearing a workspace or writing the first sentence. You can stop at the alarm or deliberately choose another block.
Will the next work session start automatically?
No. This is a single five-minute countdown. It stops at zero and waits for you. For alternating work and break periods, use Pomodoro mode in the full focus space.
How do I check the break alarm before stepping away?
Keep Alarm when time is up checked and select Test sound. Check your device volume and keep the device awake; a sleeping device or suspended tab can delay the alarm.
