The Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique was born in the late 1980s by then-university student Francesco Cirillo who was struggling to focus on studies and complete assignments. He asked himself to commit to 10 minutes of study time and used a tomato shaped kitchen timer.

 

Pomodoro is tomato in Italian, hence the name!
