Pomodoro technique
Why the tomato?
Pomodoro is the Italian word for tomato. The pomodoro technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo as a university student, when he used a tomato timer to measure his 25-minute sessions. These intervals became known as pomodoros and the technique became its namesake.
How work with a pomodoro technique
1. Choose a task
Pick one project or task you want to focus on.
2. Focus
Set a timer for 25-30 minutes, and get to work.
3. Work
When the buzzer sounds, take a little break.
4. Short break
You mustn't pick your phone or watch videos on youtube, just relaxing.
5. Repeat
Start the timer again for another session.
6. Long break
After several sessions, take a longer break.
The Pomodoro Technique is useful if you get distracted while working on a project or want to understand how long a task takes. It’s ideal for many types of work including writing, coding, design, and study. The technique also works if you have a lot of repetitive work to get through, such as wading through a busy inbox.
