The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo[1] in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 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 that Cirillo used as a university student.[3][4]\n

The technique has been widely popularized by dozens of apps and websites providing timers and instructions. Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design, the method has been adopted in pair programming contexts.[5]\n

There are six steps in the original technique:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Decide on the task to be done.<\/li>\n
  2. Set the Pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).<\/li>\n
  3. Work on the task.<\/li>\n
  4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.[6]<\/li>\n
  5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3\u20135 minutes), then go to step 2.<\/li>\n
  6. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15\u201330 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    For the technique, a Pomodoro is the interval of time spent working.<\/p>\n

    After task completion, any time remaining in the Pomodoro is devoted to overlearning.<\/p>\n

    Regular breaks are taken, aiding assimilation. A short (3\u20135 minutes) rest separates consecutive pomodoros. Four pomodoros form a set. A longer (15\u201330 minute) rest is taken between sets.<\/p>\n

    A goal of the technique is to reduce the impact of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow. A Pomodoro is indivisible; when interrupted during a Pomodoro, either the other activity must be recorded and postponed (using the inform \u2013 negotiate \u2013 schedule \u2013 call back strategy[8]) or the Pomodoro must be abandoned.<\/p>\n

    The stages of planning, tracking, recording, processing and visualizing are fundamental to the technique.[citation needed] In the planning phase, tasks are prioritized by recording them in a “To Do Today” list. This enables users to estimate the effort tasks require. As pomodoros are completed, they are recorded, adding to a sense of accomplishment and providing raw data for subsequent self-observation and improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
