The Pomodoro Technique for Time Management

Share

October 7, 2019

  1. Select a task to work on. 
  2. Set a timer for 25 minutes. 
  3. Work until the timer “dings.” Make sure you mark or take note of where you left off. 
  4. Take a five-minute break — grab a cup of coffee, stretch, and look away from your work. 
  5. Every four “pomodoros,” or 25-minute intervals, take a longer break — closer to 15-20 minutes.
