How to do the Pomodoro technique with simple steps.

2. The Pomodoro
Technique
• A deceptively simple, extremely
powerful focusing technique
developed by Francesco Cirillo in
the 1980s.
• Pomodoro is Italian for “tomato,”
and the timers Cirillo recommended
were often shaped like tomatoes.
• To do the Pomodoro, all you need to
do is:
• turn off all potentially distracting beeps or
buzzers from your cell phone or
computer,
• set a timer for twenty-five minutes,
• and then focus as hard as you can on
what you’re working on for those twenty-
five minutes.

3. The Pomodoro
technique
• When you’re done (and this is equally
important), allow your brain to relax for a few
minutes—do a bit of web surfing, listen to a
favorite song, walk about, chat with friends—
anything to comfortably allow yourself to be
distracted.
• This technique is valuable in dealing with
procrastination and keeping on track—even as it
also has built-in periods of relaxation that are
equally critical for learning.
