Review your work just completed (optional).Īfter task completion in a Pomodoro, any remaining time should be devoted to activities, for example: A pomodoro is indivisible when interrupted during a Pomodoro, either the other activity must be recorded and postponed (using the inform – negotiate – schedule – call back strategy ) or the pomodoro must be abandoned. Ī goal of the technique is to reduce the effect of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow. There is a longer 20–30-minute break between sets. A 10-minute break separates consecutive pomodoros. Regular breaks are taken, aiding assimilation. Once the long break is finished, return to step 2.įor the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is an interval of work time. After three pomodoros are done, take the fourth pomodoro and then take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes).If you have finished fewer than three pomodoros, go back to Step 2 and repeat until you go through all three pomodoros.
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. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.
