Description

The Pomodoro technique is a productivity technique that allows to break work into more manageable pieces by introducing frequent breaks. The technique is carried out as follows:

• Set a task.
• Set the pomodoro timer (typically for 25 minutes).
• Work on the task.
• End work when the timer rings and take a short break (typically 5–10 minutes).
• After four pomodoros are done, take a long break (20 to 30 minutes). Once the long break is finished, return to step 2.

The pomodoro and break timers can be customized to fit different productivity styles.
