About the Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method that improves focus by alternating short, timed work sessions with brief breaks. It reduces multitasking and helps you build sustained concentration.
Core steps (quick)
- Pick a single task to focus on.
- Set a timer for a focused interval (classic: 25 minutes).
- Work until the timer ends, then take a short break (typically 5 minutes).
- After 3–4 intervals, take a longer break (15–30 minutes).
Best practices
- Remove distractions before starting (phone silent, tabs minimized).
- Choose one clear task per Pomodoro—avoid task-switching.
- Use breaks for physical movement or rest; avoid diving into other demanding work.
- Adjust durations to your rhythm—shorter or longer intervals are fine.
Common variations
Some people use 50/10 or 90/20 intervals. The important part is the focused, uninterrupted work block followed by a restorative break.
