¶It’s true!
Sometimes the best way to focus is to use a short timer like a Pomodoro!
You can do this from anywhere in Emacs, just make sure you’ve loaded Org Mode first.
;; In your configuration (require 'org)
Just use M-x to run the command org-timer-set-timer or press C-c C-x ; inside of an Org file buffer.
At the prompt, type in a number of minutes for the timer and press Enter.
In the mode line you’ll see the timer counting down to show you how much time you have left.
If you need to pause the timer run org-timer-pause-or-continue and to stop the timer, run org-timer-stop.
A Pomodoro wouldn’t be complete without a bell, so let’s add one!
Just set the variable org-clock-sound to the path of a .wav file.
;; Download the sound at https://freesound.org/people/.Andre_Onate/sounds/484665/ (setq org-clock-sound "~/Downloads/ding.wav")
Now let’s run a 2 second timer to try it out!
