Do you know what the Pomodoro technique is? Do you understand its purpose? Let me introduce you to a technique that many people utilize to tackle tasks and complete projects and study more efficiently for their exams.
How was it invented?
Francesco Cirillo created the Pomodoro Technique as a time-management technique in the late 1980s. Cirillo was having trouble concentrating on his studies and finishing his homework. He challenged himself to devote only 10 minutes of concentrated study time because he was feeling overburdened.
The challenge inspired him to use a tomato-shaped kitchen timer (Pomodoro in Italian), and he invented the Pomodoro technique.
What tools do you need to get started?
It is very easy. a timer, a pen, and some paper
How do you start?
Select just one project that you want to work on.
Focus on it until the timer goes off. Set the timer for 25 minutes.
Keep a notebook close by and jot down any distractions you experience in it.
Mark off one Pomodoro when your session is over, then note what you accomplished.
After each Pomodoro, take a 5-minute break.
Three more times, repeat the procedure.
Take a 15- to 30-minute break after the fourth Pomodoro session.
If necessary, begin once more.
