I mentioned it before but let's dive into the Pomodoro Technique

25 minutes of focused work followed up by a 5 minute break

(Thread)

The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s

He used a tomato shaped kitchen timer while he was in college to increase his productivity.

The Italian word for tomato is pomodoro which is how this technique was named

Steps to the Pomodoro Technique

1. Decide on the task
2. Set the timer to 25 minutes
3. Work on the task
4. End work when timer rings
5. Take a short 3-5 minute break
6. Once you complete 4 "pomodoros" you should take a longer break of 15-30 minutes
7. Repeat

This technique allows you to focus on the task without any interruption

Completing these pomodoros provides you a sense of accomplishment allowing you to build proper habits

There are many variations to this technique but I suggest starting with this one and adding more time as your productivity improves

You can also use this technique to identify times where you are most productive

Use those times to take advantage!
