The podcast Flow State changed my life - lyric-less music to drive focus, built around 30m pomodoro intervals. Highly recommended

For the sibling comment - minutes, the original timer was apparently shaped like a tomato https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

pomodoro, being italian for tomato, what is a 30m interval of it? minutes i'm guessing rather than meters, but who knows...
