Apple Music Pomodoro Shortcut

I love using the Pomodoro Technique to increase my productivity. The basics of it are...

  1. 📝 Pick a task
  2. ⏳ Start a 25-minute timer
  3. 🧑‍💻 Work on the task until time is up without distractions
  4. 😎 Take a 5-minute break
  5. ♻️ Repeat or take a longer break if you've done around 4 sessions back-to-back

I created the Start Apple Music Pomodoro shortcut to automate this process and play Apple Music in the background to help you focus.

Tips: Use headphones 🎧 Run the shortcut 🔒 Lock your screen & keep it locked until the timer is done

Check out the video below to see how it works. Enjoy the productivity & happiness boost!
