ABOUT THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

The original technique has six steps:
- Decide on the task to be done.
- Set the pomodoro timer (typically for 25 minutes).
- Work on the task.
- End work when the timer rings and take a short break (typically 5 minutes).
- If you have finished fewer than three pomodoros, go back to Step 2 and repeat until you go through all three pomodoros.
- After three pomodoros are done, take the fourth pomodoro and then take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes). Once the long break is finished, return to step 2.
For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is an interval of work time.

Regular breaks are taken, aiding assimilation. A 5-minute break separates consecutive pomodoros. Four pomodoros form a set. There is a longer 20–30 minute break between sets.

A goal of the technique is to reduce the effect of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow. After task completion in a pomodoro, any remaining time should be devoted to activities, for example:
- Review your work just completed.
- Review the activities from a learning point of view (ex: What learning objective did you accomplish? What learning outcome did you accomplish? Did you fulfill your learning target, objective, or outcome for the task?)
- Review the list of upcoming tasks for the next planned pomodoro time blocks, and start reflecting on or updating them.
