Pomodoro Time Management Technique

Thank you. Pomodoro—it's the Italian word for tomato. It's also the name of a very powerful time management technique.

Here's how it works.

Step number one: be very specific about what you want to accomplish in the next half hour.

Number two: get yourself a timer and set it for 25 minutes. 25 minutes is a traditional Pomodoro time interval. You can use your app, you can use a desktop timer, you can even purchase a tomato Pomodoro timer online.

Then work exclusively on that task for the next 25 minutes without interruption, without distractions.

When the timer goes off, stop. Take a short break. This is the real power of the Pomodoro Technique—taking short mental breaks before returning to that task or perhaps a new task.

Once you've finished your break, again be specific about what you want to achieve and repeat the Pomodoro interval.

Until next time, it's very simple.
