About Pareto Timers

The Pareto Principle – often called the 80/20 rule – suggests that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. In the context of time management, this means that a large portion of your results can come from a small portion of focused, dedicated effort.

A Pareto Timer is designed to help you optimize your work by setting dedicated periods of focus (work sessions) followed by brief recovery intervals (break sessions). By strictly partitioning your time, you can minimize distractions and maximize productivity, ensuring that your energy is channeled into what matters most.

Whether you follow the traditional 80/20 split or adapt the durations to your personal rhythm, this tool aims to provide a minimalist, distraction-free environment that encourages deep work and balanced breaks.
