Focus Booster : The Pomodoro Technique

The pomodoro technique is a time management technique which  allows you to work with time, using time to your advantage to stay fresh, remove distractions and create a better work life balance. The pomodoro technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals (referred to as ‘pomodoros’ or ‘pomodoro sessions’). These intervals are separated by breaks (the standard is 5 minutes). Pomodoro time management is based on the theory that frequent breaks can improve mental agility. I can vouch for that!

How do you implement the pomodoro technique?

Here are the five basic steps to implementing pomodoro time management;

- decide on the focus task.
- set the pomodoro timer to 25 minutes.
- work on the task until the timer rings.
- take a short break (5 minutes), keep note of the number of session you complete.
- every 4 sessions take a longer break, perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. 

Who is the pomodoro technique best for?

If you want to be more productive, then pomodoro is a technique for you. It is a fail proof time management technique and the implementation of a digital timer makes it even more simple.
