The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that involves breaking work into focus periods, separated by short breaks. Each work interval is called a pomodoro, which comes from the Italian word for tomato. The technique was developed in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo, who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to test the method. 
 
Here are the steps for using the Pomodoro Technique: 
 
  1. Choose a task to complete
  2. Set a timer
  3. Work on the task without distractions
  4. When the timer ends, take a break
  5. Repeat the process three more times
  6. Take a longer break 

 

The Pomodoro Technique can be useful for many tasks, including writing, coding, design, studying, and repetitive work. Some tips for using the technique could include: Starting early in the morning when you’re most alert, Disabling internet access, and Recording each session. 
 
The number of pomodoros you complete each day can vary, but many people use eight sessions of 25 minutes each for a total of four hours of focus. You can find the balance that works best for you and your goals. 

Use the hamburger menu on the right to set your personal timer and break settings. These settings will NOT interfere with anyone else in the room, so customize away!
