Pomodoro popup

The "pomodoro" technique is very handy in programming, it helps not to dive into "tunneling" and makes your work more pleasure and refreshing.

What is this?

The technique I use can be described in several steps:

1. Choose a task and set timer for 25 minutes.
2. Start timer and work on the task (we call it "start pomodoro")
3. Write a note about your progress done. Stop pomodoro.
4. Rest for 3-5 minutes by walking, doing some music, etc.
5. After being refreshed and done some gym, repeat step 1.

pomodoro_popup.py -- is a simple Python GTK app, that every 25 minutes raises a popup window reminding you to stop pomodoro and rest.

Requirements

pygtk >= 2.0, gtk

Usage

Just run it by:

python pomodoro_popup.py

or

./pomodoro_popup.py
