The Pomodoro Technique
by Francesco Cirillo
Three key ideas
- A Pomodoro is one chosen task and a 25-minute focused interval, then a short break.
- Jot down an internal interruption briefly, then go back to the task when you can.
- Breaks support recovery. They are not extra work under another label.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.One task, one bounded interval
- 2.Guard the interval from switching
- 3.Take the planned breaks
- 4.Compare your guess with the effort
- 5.Fit the system to the work
From the comic
A timer is very productive at ticking. Alone, that's all it does.
