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.
How to Use the Pomodoro Technique
- Choose a task you want to work on.
- Set a timer for 25 minutes.
- Work on the task until the timer rings.
- Take a short 5-minute break.
- Repeat the process, and after every four sessions, take a longer break (15-30 minutes).
Benefits of the Pomodoro Technique
- Improves focus and concentration.
- Reduces burnout by ensuring regular breaks.
- Enhances productivity by working in short, controlled bursts.
- Helps overcome procrastination.
