The Pomodoro Method - A Time Management Tool

The Pomodoro Method is greatly suited for open-ended work that could take unlimited amounts of time like studying for an exam, just what you happen to be doing during technical training. This method calls for the use of a timer to alternate Pomodoros — focused work sessions — with frequent short breaks to promote sustained concentration and get rid of the study fatigue.

This method was developed in the late 1980s by a university student Francesco Cirillo who struggled with focus and getting work done. “Pomodoro” is Italian for “tomato”. Cirillo named the technique after the tomato-shaped timer he had.

Tomatoes you ask? Yes! Leave the struggle behind to look ahead with this life-changing technique and join millions of people who swear by the revolutionary power of the Pomodoro method!
