What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo that uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. The technique helps improve focus, productivity, and mental well-being.

The technique works by:

  • Work Intervals: Focus on a single task for 25 minutes (one "pomodoro")
  • Short Breaks: Take a 5-minute break after each work interval
  • Long Breaks: After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break
  • Task Completion: Track completed pomodoros to measure productivity

The Pomodoro Technique helps combat procrastination, maintain focus, reduce mental fatigue, and create a sense of urgency that improves productivity. By breaking work into manageable chunks with regular breaks, it prevents burnout and helps you maintain consistent performance throughout the day.
