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.
