Pomodoro is a time management technique designed to enhance concentration and productivity, developed in the 1980s by Francesco Cirillo. The name comes from the Italian word for "tomato," inspired by the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used.

Basic Pomodoro Technique Cycle

1. 25 minutes of focused work (1 Pomodoro)
2. 5-minute short break
3. After 4 cycles, take a 15-30 minute long break

Repeating this cycle helps maintain high concentration without fatigue.

Purpose and Benefits of Pomodoro

Recommended For

• People who struggle with maintaining focus
• Those who tend to delay starting work or studying
• Individuals overwhelmed by multitasking
• Anyone wanting to improve time management

The Pomodoro Study Method is a learning technique that uses time management of 25-minute focus sessions followed by 5-minute breaks to enhance study efficiency. Instead of long, unfocused study sessions, alternating between concentration and rest in rhythmic cycles improves memory retention and sustained attention.

Step 1: Define Study Tasks

• First, list the subjects or topics you need to study.
• For larger tasks, break them into smaller units that can be completed within 25 minutes.

Step 2: Set Timer for 25 Minutes

• Prepare a stopwatch or timer and set it for 25 minutes.
• Focus on one study task during this period.
• Turn off phone notifications or place it in another room to minimize distractions.

Step 3: Focus on Studying for 25 Minutes

• Maintain concentration on your study material until the timer rings.
• Avoid any other activities (researching, messaging, social media, etc.).

Step 4: Take a 5-Minute Break

• When the timer goes off, take a mandatory 5-minute break.
• Relax your brain by closing your eyes, walking lightly, or having a drink.
• Avoid checking phones or social media as it can re-stimulate the brain.

Step 5: After 4 Cycles, Take a Longer Break

• After completing four 25+5 minute cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
• Refresh your mind and body with stretching, a nap, or a short walk.

Step 6: Record Study Time

• Keep a simple log of daily Pomodoro cycles and study topics to track progress.
• Reviewing these records helps objectively assess your focus and achievements.
