Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique was created by entrepreneur and author Francesco Cirillo. This technique uses a timer to break down your work into intervals. Each interval is known as a Pomodoro, named after the tomato-shaped timer that Cirillo created.

How it works

1. Choose a task you need to get done

2. Set a timer (e.g., for 25 mins)

3. Focus on the task at hand

4. When the timer rings, put a checkmark on a piece of paper

5. Take a short break
   Take a break for about three to five minutes. Go for a walk, grab a cup of coffee, do something non-work-related to give your brain a break.

6. Repeat steps two to five
   Once you have completed this process four times, you can begin to take longer breaks (20–30 mins).
