🎯 Time Management Techniques

1. AppName Algorithm (RECOMMENDED)

A proprietary algorithm that adapts to your work type and health metrics:

PC or Mobile Related Tasks:

Considers screen exposure time
Factors in blink rate for eye health
Applies 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
Includes movement breaks

Study Tasks:

Optimized for learning and retention
Includes quick revision prompts (at 80% of interval time)
Balances focused study with necessary breaks

Limited Time Tasks:

High-intensity work sessions
Flexible break scheduling for tight deadlines

2. Pomodoro Technique

Traditional 25-minute work intervals
Breaks scale with interval duration
Every 4th break is extended

3. 60/10 Method

60 minutes of focused work
10 minutes of mind wandering/creative thinking
Fixed interval structure

🚀 Installation
