I finally decided to try Pomodoro
technique to see how well it can improve my productivity as I am a lot

(name for a new period of time, lets call it a Pomodoro anyway). It
calls up the script which alerts me that a new Pomodoro (time period)
has started and then alert me again when the timer ends and I should
take a small break.
