What is the Pomodoro Technique?
Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, the Pomodoro Technique uses 25-minute focused work sessions followed by 5-minute breaks to improve productivity and reduce mental fatigue.
Why 25 minutes?
25 minutes is long enough to make meaningful progress on a task but short enough to maintain intense focus. Research shows our attention naturally wanes after 20-30 minutes.
What should I do during breaks?
Move your body — stretch, walk, or do light exercises. Avoid checking social media or email during short breaks. Long breaks (15 min) can include a short walk or snack.
How many Pomodoros should I aim for per day?
Most knowledge workers complete 8-12 Pomodoros per day. Start with a goal of 4-6 and increase gradually.
