Quit your procrastinating and download the free Focus To-Do: Pomodoro program to organize your day. Unlike most To-Do apps that I reviewed, Focus To-Do is more of a task manager than a simple list maker. You can set priorities, sub-tasks, reminders, recurring events, and more. The secret to its success is the use of the Pomodoro technique that’s designed to help you focus and complete tasks in a timely manner.

Focus To-Do: Pomodoro Overview
To-do lists that use the Pomodoro technique (see explanation below) have become quite popular lately, and Focus To-Do is the most complete program that I’ve tested.
This technique assigns each task a set time and then gives you a break before starting on the next task on your list. Focus To-Do allows you to set the time for each task and the break in between. The default times are 25 minutes for a task and a 5-minute break. After you complete 4 tasks, you’ll earn a longer break.
It’s available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices and with a single free account, I was able to sync my task lists with all my devices.
How to Create Tasks with Focus To-Do
Focus To-Do is more than just a to-do list, it’s a complete task manager. Create your task and decide how many Pomorono cycles it will need, or if one is enough to get the job done. You can create multiple categories, and add subtasks, priorities, notes, and reminders to each one.
Task Management
The tools you’ll get with the Focus To-Do program will help you organize your life, in a way that other apps and programs just can’t do.
I appreciate the way you’re able to categorize your tasks into various sections like personal, school, work, and leisure. This approach allows you to efficiently tackle your daily objectives. Assigning a level of importance to each task is key. This ensures that you address the significant tasks initially, without delaying them in favor of simpler, less crucial ones.
If you have tasks that have to be completed on a regular basis, you can set up recurring events, by specifying a day of the week, or month for it to appear on your calendar. You’ll have the option to set a reminder, so you don’t forget what time or which days to get the task done.
Detailed Reports
You’ll get a sense of accomplishment with Focus To-Do, not just from actually completing tasks, but from the colorful, detailed reports. It will show you exactly how many tasks you’re completing each day, week, and month, and how much time you spent working, in comparison to your total breaks.
