Why you should use a Pomodoro Timer with Notion

Using a pomodoro timer such as ZenFocus with Notion combines the power of “deep work” with your own, personalised productivity setup. Whether you’re managing tasks, journaling, or studying, embedding a timer into Notion helps streamline your workflow without switching tabs or losing focus.

Helps You Stay in the Flow

Jumping between Notion and different apps can be a pain (as well as interrupting your flow). By embedding ZenFocus directly in your Notion workspace, you can plan, track and time all your tasks in one place, without losing your focus.

Reduces Distractions

Have you ever been working on something with lots of different applications open, and suddenly found the urge to check your notifications, or open a different tab? By staying within one application - and getting your brain into “work mode” - it’s easier to be intentional with your time and maintain focus, rather than jumping around.

Fits into Your Workflow

One of the great things about Notion is that it’s customisable - you can create whatever system suits you. Whether you’re building a study planner to help you ace your exams, or a full blown project board to help you meet your deadline - our pomodoro timer can slot seamlessly into your setup, making Notion not just a place to list tasks, but to actually do them.

Creates a Focus Habit

Using background noise with a pomodoro timer can help you get into “focus” mode, and help to make deep work or study a regular habit. Having your timer right there within your Notion workspace can help you get into the habit of using it and being focused about your effort.

What is an Aesthetic Pomodoro Timer Widget?

Our “aesthetic” pomodoro timer doesn’t just give you a 25 minute countdown. Instead of a ticking clock (although that is an option - see our “minimalist” theme) it gives you different ambient sounds such as rain, cafe ambience and a roaring fireplace.

Different sounds work for different people, so it’s worth experimenting and finding the one that works for you. When you do, it can help you achieve your “flow” state where focusing becomes easy, not hard.

If you’re someone who values a calm, distraction-free environment to help them focus, an aesthetic pomodoro widget can turn your Notion workspace into a mini retreat for your brain!

FAQs

Can I customise the timer duration?

Yes, you can select a range of different timer and break lengths, ranging from 5 minutes to 90 minutes. You can also change the number of pomodoro’s per session.

Will the sound work inside Notion?

Yes, the sound should work inside Notion just as if you were using ZenFocus from within your web browser.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, it should work on the Notion iOS and Android apps (we’re also working on a dedicated ZenFocus mobile app - stay tuned!).

Can I sync my data between my browser and Notion?

If you want to ensure that your tasks and progress are synced across both your browser and your Notion workspace, make sure that you’ve signed up for a free ZenFocus account and have signed in on both Notion and your browser. Your data should then seamlessly sync between both.
