Pomodoro and focus guides

Short, plain-English guides on how to focus with a timer: what the Pomodoro Technique actually asks of you, how long breaks should be, when counting up (Flowtime) suits you better (or a 52/17 rhythm), whether lofi music or brown noise helps, how to adapt it all for an ADHD brain, and how Hokkori's rain, fire and lo-fi sound is built. Each one cites its sources.
