The Pomodoro Method (developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s) is a simple time management technique that follows this structure:
Work for 25 minutes (one “Pomodoro”)
Take a 5-minute break
Repeat this cycle four times, then take a (optional) longer break (15–30 minutes)
This method isn’t just about taking breaks -- it’s about training your brain to focus deeply during work periods and fully recharge during rest periods.
