Pomodoro

My implementation of the Pomodoro Technique (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).

You can simply launch it with:

pomodoro "Work my french kiss"

Then the script will:

• Create a ~/.pomodoro directory to store current task (current.task) and a summary of each week (eg week-42-2015.txt).
• First, it's put task name and a timer (for $WORK_TIME) to the current task file.
• Once the $WORK_TIME has been reached:
  1. Log task name and worked time to the weekly log file
  2. Toggle the sound to mark a pause
  3. It's put a pause/break message for 5/20 minutes as current task
  4. Delete the current task file

Disavantages

• Must run the script every ~30 minutes
• …?

Advantages

• I can display my current task and it's timer wherever i want (tmux, herbstluftwm, …)
• Written to work with /bin/sh
