How the pomodoro technique works
The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into 25-minute focused intervals ("pomodoros") separated by short breaks. It fights procrastination and mental fatigue by making work feel short and giving your brain regular rest.
- 1 pomodoro = 25 min focus + 5 min break
- After 4 pomodoros β 15 min long break
- During a session: one task only, phone away
Tip: write down your single task before pressing start. A timer you can see keeps the commitment real.
