How to Use the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals:

1. Choose a task to work on.
2. Set the timer to 25 minutes.
3. Work with full focus until the timer rings.
4. Take a 5-minute break.
5. After 4 sessions, take a 15-30 minute break.
