The Pomodoro Technique is to use a timer to set
work intervals that are followed by a short break. The intervals are usually about 25 minutes long and are called pomodoros, which comes from the Italian word for tomato because Cirillo used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to keep track of the intervals. There are six steps: Decide on the task to be done. Set the timer to the desired interval. Work on the task. When the timer goes off, put a check mark on a piece of paper. If you have fewer than four check marks, take a short break (3-5 minutes), then go to Step 1 or 2 (whichever is appropriate). After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes), reset your check mark count to zero, and then go to Step 1 or 2.
