How the Pomodoro technique works
- Pick one task and press Start. Work for 25 minutes without checking your phone.
- Take a 5-minute break when the sound plays.
- After 4 focus sessions, take a longer 15-minute break.
Change the lengths to suit you, for example 50 minutes of focus and 10 of break for deep work.
Why it helps
Short, fixed sessions make it easier to start, and regular breaks keep you fresh through a long day of study or work.
