If we also want to configure the time for each Pomodoro session, break time, or the colors of the UI the tool provides a configuration section that meets all these needs. Nor is it to be pessimistic, because only by putting the panel timer within a group of tabs, we have ‘hidden’ clock. While it’s very nice, I think that having a UI with a Timer Chart maybe will add a bit of pressure to work when we know a session is going to finish. This extension adds a new panel within the Visual Studio IDE which allows us to start a Pomodoro session.

However, today I found one extension which I think it is worth a try: Pomodoro. When working with Visual Studio, I also use the Windows Timer App. I disconnect my smartphone, Skype, and other communication tools and focus on a single task for 30 minutes. Nowadays, I’m using the Windows Timer App to control time with a 30 minutes period, and the truth is that it’s going very well. I started using a timer in my smartphone to control the Pomodoro periods and then I tried several Windows Apps. I used almost every day to manage small working times.
