#18 Pomodoro Technique



The Pomodoro Technique is a popular time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Rather than working on a task for an indefinite amount of time, the Pomodoro Technique is all about working in short, sharp bursts and taking regular breaks to ensure the freshness of mind.

How to Pomodoro

  • Choose a task you want to focus on
  • Remove all distractions
  • Set the timer to 25 minutes 
  • Work on the task until the timer rings
  • Take a 5 minute break, then work for another 25 minutes
  • Take a longer break every 4 sessions (around 20  minutes)
To be successful you must ensure you remove all distractions and focus completely on that task. No social media, email, phone calls or even interruptions from your friends (just tell them you're on a "Pomodoro"!)
