Introduction
A few years ago, while on a mission to enhance my productivity, I discovered the Pomodoro Technique. This method involves working in focused 25-minute intervals, followed by a 5-minute break, which helped me avoid burnout and stay efficient.
A few months later, I started experimenting with Arduino and was immediately fascinated by its capabilities. This project is a harmonious blend of these two passions – a professional approach to productivity, infused with a touch of creativity and innovation.
This blog is more technical than explanatory. I have provided the code and and necessary diagrams if someone wants to replicate this

How to customize?
How to customize?
The provided code can be changed to work for any sequence of events with existing hardware setup. Existing code has [25 min work, 5 min break, 25 min work, 5 min break, 25 min work, 5 min break, 25 min work, 15 min break] and then repeat.
If you wish to change with sequence just change bellow lines of code:
int pomodoroSecs[8] = {
1500, 300, 1500, 300, 1500, 300, 1500, 900
};
bool isWorkState[8] = {
true, false, true, false, true, false, true, false
};
