What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this timer?
Start a 25-minute Pomodoro session and focus completely on your task. When the timer rings, take a 5-minute short break. After completing four Pomodoros, take a 15-minute long break to recharge.
Will the timer run in the background?
Yes, modern web browsers will keep the timer running in the background tab, though the display update rate may slow down to save your computer's battery. An alert tone will play when the timer reaches zero.
