The Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. After four work sessions, you take a longer break.
How It Works
- Choose a task you want to work on
- Start the 25-minute work timer
- Work with full focus until the timer rings
- Take a 5-minute short break
- After 4 sessions, take a 15-minute long break
- Repeat
Frequently Asked Questions
Why 25 minutes?
Research shows that most people can maintain intense focus for about 25-30 minutes before attention starts to decline. The 25-minute interval is designed to keep you in a state of flow without burnout.
Does the timer work in the background?
Yes. The timer continues running even if you switch tabs. The page title shows the remaining time so you can see it at a glance. You'll hear an audio alert when the timer finishes.
What should I do during breaks?
Step away from your screen. Stretch, walk, hydrate, or rest your eyes. The key is to disengage from work completely so your brain can recharge for the next session.
