The **Pomodoro Technique** is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It boosts focus by breaking work into short, structured intervals—traditionally 25 minutes—followed by short breaks. Each interval is called a _Pomodoro_, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a student. 🍅 **Core Principles:** - **Work in short bursts** Focus intensely on a single task for 25 minutes. - **Take regular breaks** Follow each Pomodoro with a 5-minute break to reset. - **Add longer breaks after a few rounds** After four Pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes). ![[[email protected]]]
