Homonym: Pomodoro (Tomato)
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It encourages individuals to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes long, called "pomodoros," followed by a short break. This approach helps maintain focus and productivity while reducing mental fatigue.
After completing four pomodoros, a longer break of 15-30 minutes is recommended. The technique is designed to enhance concentration and efficiency, making it easier to tackle tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Many people find it useful for studying, working on projects, or managing daily responsibilities.
