Pomodoro technique

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

“You can fool everyone else, but you can’t fool your own mind”

This admired time management method asks you to alternate pomodoros, focused work sessions with frequent short breaks to promote constant attention and delay mental fatigue.

It was difficult for me to start this technique and it looked so silly at first as I was doing it for the first time, but as I proceed it, I came to know that it is so simple that people can use it easily. It is an effective way to achieve a balance between quantity and quality, and all you have to do is focus for 25 minutes at a time.

It helps me a lot to do my task in shorter time because time is broken into 25 minute chunks, so you tend to focus only on the present pomodoro session. You feel less stressed because you cannot multi-task and no interruptions take your attention. The pomodoro technique is effective at keeping you fresh by taking breaks after each session.

“The Pomodoro Technique: The Life-Changing Time-Management System”

This technique is so beneficial because it teach me the value of your time, how you can improve the quality and quantity of your work, What you can do better to manage people’s expectations, including your own, how exercising your willpower can benefit you, and how you can stop fighting the clock.

I’ll try to use it regularly even for my daily to-do tasks because it is the best time saving technique. I’ve just obsessed with it!
