“Pomodoro” – is Italian for tomato.
Cirillo named his time management technique Pomodoro because he used a kitchen timer that is shaped liked a tomato.
I have read a lot of books on business time management through the years.
All of the books have been repetitive about how to make lists of tasks and how to priortize and visualize them but the Pomodoro Technique is the simplest and most useable methods of time management that I have ever seen.
Here are the five components of The Pomodoro Technique :
- Choose a task to be accomplished
- Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes (the Pomodoro is the timer)
- Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings, then put an “X” on your sheet of paper by the accomplished task
- Take a short break (5 minutes )
- Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer break (10 minutes)
Here are the basic materials that you will need to perform The Pomodoro Technique:
- A kitchen timer preferably shaped like a tomato. (Amazon sells them)
- Two pieces of paper
- A pencil
