What is the Pomodoro Technique?

  • The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo.
  • It provides a structured approach to work and study, enhancing productivity and focus.
  • The technique involves breaking down tasks into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, called 'pomodoros'.
  • Each pomodoro is followed by a short break.
  • The name 'pomodoro' originates from the Italian word for 'tomato,' inspired by the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

How do you use the Pomodoro Technique?

  • Select a task to focus on.
  • Start the pomodoro timer and concentrate on the task for its duration.
  • Take a short break when the alarm rings (completion of a pomodoro + break is 1 cycle)
  • After 3 or 4 cycles, take a long break. (usually 15 minutes)
  • Repeat the process until you finish your tasks.
