The 45/15 Pomodoro.

45 minutes of focus, 15 minutes of break — a middle ground between classic 25/5 and ultradian 90/15. Great for writing, coding, and dense reading.

When 45/15 wins

Writing essays — 45 minutes is enough to draft a section without losing the plot.
Reading textbooks — 45 minutes ≈ one chapter at a comfortable pace.
Creative work — design, music, painting. Long enough to enter flow, short enough to recover.

How to set it up

Promodify Pro unlocks custom intervals — set 45 focus / 15 break and you're done. Free users can use the 50/10 preset which is close enough for most tasks.
