    What is the Pomodoro Technique?

    The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer (pomodoro in Italian) he used.

    The technique involves breaking work into 25-minute intervals of intense focus (called 'pomodoros'), separated by 5-minute short breaks. After completing 4 pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

    How to apply it?

    1. 1Choose a task to work on
    2. 2Start the 25- or 50-minute timer
    3. 3Work with full focus until the timer rings
    4. 4Take a 5-minute short break
    5. 5Every 4 cycles, take a 10-minute long break
