⏱️What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a "pomodoro," the Italian word for tomato, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

This technique helps combat procrastination, maintain focus, and prevent mental fatigue by ensuring regular breaks. It's particularly effective for tasks requiring sustained concentration.

How to Use the Pomodoro Technique

1

Choose a task

Select a task you want to work on. It can be anything from studying to coding to writing.

2

Set the timer for 25 minutes

Work on the task with full focus until the timer rings. Avoid all distractions.

3

Take a 5-minute break

Step away from your work. Stretch, grab a drink, or just relax.

4

Every 4 pomodoros, take a longer break

After completing 4 pomodoros, reward yourself with a 15-30 minute break.
