Pomodoro Timer

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are known as "pomodoros," the Italian word for tomatoes, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.

Benefits of the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique can help you:

• Improve focus and concentration
• Reduce mental fatigue
• Enhance productivity
• Maintain motivation and momentum
• Encourage consistent breaks

How to Use the Pomodoro Timer

To use the Pomodoro Timer, set your desired work and break times, then start the timer. Work for the set interval, take a short break, and repeat. After completing a few cycles, take a longer break. This structured approach helps manage time effectively and keeps you refreshed throughout the day.
