The Science Behind Pomodoro
The Pomodoro Technique was developed in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
How to use this timer?
- Choose a single task you want to focus on (No multitasking!).
- Start the Pomodoro (25-minute) timer.
- Work intensely until the timer rings.
- Take a Short Break (5 minutes) to relax.
- Repeat the cycle 4 times, then take a Long Break (15 minutes).
