Hooks for a Pomodoro Study App

Pomodoro apps all look like a circle. The post has to be about the failure mode, or there is no reason to switch timers.

Hooks

• "You don't have to do 25. Start with 10 if 25 makes you quit."
• "The break is part of it. Skipping the break is how you crash at minute 40."
• "One task on the timer. Not the whole syllabus."
• "Phone in another room. The timer can live on a laptop."
• "A count of sessions for today that is allowed to be two."
• "What to do when you reset the timer three times. The task is too big. Split it."
• "Study with the timer visible to a friend, if your app does that."
• "The session after lunch, which is the one you usually lose."

A screenshot of two completed blocks is more honest than a 12-hour fantasy. Students trust a tool that assumes a human afternoon.
