Why a 45 minute timer?
45 minutes is the sweet spot for work that needs a real ramp-up: writing, coding, design, anything that takes a few minutes to load fully into your head. You get past the warm-up, settle into flow, and finish before fatigue sets in. Pair each 45-minute block with a 10-minute break, and most people can do three or four in a row before attention starts to slip.

Why pick 45 minutes instead of 25?
45-minute blocks suit work that takes longer to load into your head — coding, design, complex writing. By the 25-minute mark you're often just hitting flow; 45 lets you stay there.
How long should the break after 45 minutes be?
A 10 to 15 minute break works well. Get up, drink water, look at something far away. Then start the next block.
Can I run several 45-minute sessions in a row?
Most people manage two to four 45-minute blocks before their attention drops noticeably. Open the Minutes app to log each one and see your real focus stamina over time.
