Hello @arooni ,

thanks for raising this issue.

1. Currently the only way to stop it is ctrl+c
2. No there is no way currently, I would say that pomodoros are not meant to be paused
3. I would say that it is compatible with the original idea of pomodoro, that you either finish a full pomodoro session (and it is recorded) or you cancel it (in that case it is not recorded)

Let me know what you think

The error happens because there is no recorded pomodoro for the week, but I will make a better error message, thanks

I appreciate your response:

1. Let's say I have to take a call that I didn't expect or need to run an errand. I'd like not to count the time I'm not really working on productive things as a POM. So if I could 'pause' a POM I could take care of that busywork and then resume the POM when I was done. Or perhaps you'd like to force me to restart the POM which I'd also be amenable to (or let the user pick how strict they want to take it)
2. I have received that error with the stats part even after completing a task or two... so I'm not sure why I'm getting it. I was hoping to get motivated by seeing the POMs recorded and beat my previous record.

Looks like upgrading via pip allows me to see that I haven't worked any POMs even though I thought I recorded at least one. I'll run this a bit and see how it goes ;) thanks!
