What is Pomodoro?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses 25-minute focused work sessions followed by 5-minute breaks to boost productivity and reduce burnout. Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.
Why It Works
Short, focused bursts prevent mental fatigue, maintain high concentration, and make large tasks feel more manageable. Perfect for studying, coding, writing, or any demanding cognitive work.
