The Pomodoro technique
A simple method to focus and make progress without burning out.
What is it?
It was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late eighties. The name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer (pomodoro in Italian) he used while studying.
The idea is to work in 25-minute intervals separated by short breaks. It is easy to start and helps beat procrastination.
