Pomodoro

I've always wanted to get a pomodoro that worked. I've tried a few things over the years, a little egg timer, a cube, a program I wrote. It always seemed like such a hassle, no matter if it was flipping a square, poking a program or whatever.

Cue in Gnome, at some point in the past years Gnome started including a "Wellbeing" section in settings. There a little pomodoro thingy that will tell you to take a break, or it'll flash lights at you! And all you have to do is turn it on. It tracks your mouse movements, and usually I'd be all against that, but the world being what it is, I may as well profit from a computer knowing what I'm doing.

It works great! I find myself boring holes in questions when the real answer is to pivot to a new question. I've never really thought of it that way, but the results show. I've finished 90% of the game logic and it is only week three! Woo!
