Use Flowmoduino to Increase Your Productivity

What is flowmoduino?

Flowmodoro means flow + pomodoro + Arduino. In the traditional pomodoro technique, we focus for 25 mins and take a 5 mins break; however, when we enter a flow state, it's better to continue focusing instead of taking break. Flowmodoro solves this problem by counting up when focusing and counting down when taking break. The length of break time depends on how long we focus, for example: 0.2*(focus time). In this project, we will make an flowmodoro timer based on Arduino to help us increase productivity!

• Arduino UNO * 1
• Bread Board * 1
• Buzzer * 1
• Button * 1
• Resistor * 1
• LCD I2C * 1
• Jump Wires * 9

The video and flowchart demonstrate how it works.

Connect all components onto the breadboard.

Here's my code. It's is simple and straight forward. You can change the line 66 to get a custom length of break time.

66 break_time = study_time / 5;

After uploading it to Arduino, you can start using it!
