Grab a timer and get ready to say goodbye to procrastination.
The Pomodoro Method is a data-backed way of getting stuff done.
The time management technique is named after Francesco Cirillo. He was an Italian student in the 1980s who struggled with procrastination.
Francisco had a tomato-shaped kitchen timer on his desk. Pomodoro is the Italian word for tomato.
He set it for 25 minutes and committed to focusing on his work until the timer went off. Then he took a five-minute break.
Timing work and break intervals had a remarkable effect on his productivity and mood.
And the Pomodoro Technique was born.
It's easy to try and very effective with getting work, homework and even household chores done.
