+Today's script is a pomodoro timer which uses festival to use TTS to get you to stop working or start working again
+
+This first part is to format time for the timer
+```bash
+function format_time() {
+    local seconds=$1
+    printf "%02d:%02d:%02d" $((seconds / 3600)) $(((seconds % 3600) / 60)) $((seconds % 60))
+}
+```
+
+
+This function starts with setting work time and break time
+and then for each cycle it sends a notification and TTS message
+```bash
+function pomodoro_timer() {
+    local work_time="30 * 60"  # 25 minutes in seconds
+    local break_time="10 * 60" # 5 minutes in seconds
+    local cycles=3       # Number of Pomodoro cycles
+
+    for ((cycle = 1; cycle <= cycles; cycle++)); do
+        for ((time_left = work_time; time_left > 0; time_left--)); do
+            echo -ne "Pomodoro $cycle: Work Time Left: $(format_time $time_left)\033[0K\r"
+            sleep 1
+        done
+
+        echo "Time for a short break!" | festival --tts   # Notify using Festival
+        notify-send "Pomodoro $cycle" "Time for a short break!" -t 5000  # Notify using notify-send
+
+        for ((time_left = break_time; time_left > 0; time_left--)); do
+            echo -ne "Pomodoro $cycle: Break Time Left: $(format_time $time_left)\033[0K\r"
+            sleep 1
+        done
+
+        echo "Back to work!" | festival --tts # Notify using Festival
+        notify-send "Pomodoro $cycle" "Back to work!" -t 5000  # Notify using notify-send
+        
+    done
+    echo -ne "\033[0K\r"
+    echo "Pomodoro completed!"
+}
+```
