Pomodoro Time Management is a productivity technique designed to help individuals increase their efficiency, focus, and productivity. It involves breaking down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and has become a popular productivity tactic over the years. The Pomodoro technique is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility. During the 25-minute “focus” intervals, users should focus solely on one task, setting aside any distractions. After four intervals, users should take a longer break of 15–20 minutes. The Pomodoro technique has been adopted by many businesses and individuals as an effective way to stay productive and organized with their work. It can help reduce procrastination, improve focus and concentration, and help with time management. Additionally, there are a variety of Pomodoro time management apps and websites available. These tools help users to time their intervals, keep track of their progress, and provide tips and advice on how to best use the technique.
