I hadn't thought about adding a loop to mine. Here's mine, because on XFCE notification popups are not that visible, I added sounds. I now like it even more, in fact:
The first notify-send serves as a visual reminder that the script is running, it's useful when launching from a keyboard shortcut. It plays bell sounds every 5 minutes until competing 15 minute (my preferred time for pomodoros)
