Introduction
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
How It Works
1. Choose a task
2. Set timer for 25 minutes
3. Work until timer rings
4. Take a 5-minute break
5. After 4 pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes)
