The Pomodoro Technique is a time management tool that involves splitting work tasks into 25-minute intervals, known as pomodoros, with breaks scheduled in between each interval.

Getting something done on time and ticking it off your to-do list can be extremely satisfying. However, it can sometimes be hard to get things done if you’re having trouble managing your time or feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do. In that case, it may be helpful to use a time management technique to help you get started and manage your time more efficiently.

This article explains how the Pomodoro Technique was developed, how you can practice it.

Here’s how to practice the Pomodoro Technique:

Select your task.

✅Set a 25-minute timer.

✅Work on the task until the timer goes off.

✅Take a 5-minute break.

✅Repeat this format.

✅Take a longer 15- to 30-minute break every four pomodoro intervals.

These are some tips that can help you implement the Pomodoro Technique

Using a timer can help ensure you stay on track and don’t overshoot your intervals. You can use an old-fashioned kitchen timer to set an alarm for every pomodoro interval and break. Or, you can use a timer app on your phone, if you prefer. If you’re working on your computer, some browsers also have pomodoro timer extensions.

It can be helpful to plan out your tasks for the day and estimate how many pomodoro intervals you need for each task. Split complex tasks on your to-do lists into smaller chunks so that you can easily divide them into pomodoro intervals.

Make the most of your breaks Use your breaks to sip on water, nibble on a snack, stretch your limbs, do a quick meditation, or take a short walk. These activities can help you feel refreshed so that you’re ready to get back to work again after the break.

If you’ve tried the Pomodoro Technique and feel that the 25-minute pomodoro intervals 

or 5-minute breaks are not working for you, you can adjust the timings to suit you better. The idea is essentially to set out chunks of time to focus on work and take breaks in between to relax your mind and refresh yourself. Timers with customized intervals and breaks are sometimes referred to as marinara timers.
