Superfocus
This is not medical advice. If you are looking up how to focus with ADHD or an ADHD focus timer, you already know 25-minute pomodoros can feel like a wall. The useful move is to make time visible and shrink decisions.
Visible time beats “I’ll start in a minute”
A kitchen timer helps some people. A browser timer that also shows the task helps more, because switching to set a tomato is another decision. Superfocus Sprint (short blocks) exists for start friction. Custom 10-minute focus timers exist for the same reason.
Fewer decisions in the first 60 seconds
- Preset saved (don’t pick a new length every time).
- One task already named.
- Sound already inside the app — not a YouTube hunt.
Body doubling (Focusmate) can help some people. For solo work, the Superfocus clock is a cheap, repeatable prompt: the session started whether motivation showed up or not.
After the short block
If it finished, you can chain a classic pomodoro. If it didn’t, you still have a completed sprint instead of a shame spiral. Track that in analytics; don’t track “hours I meant to work.”
