What is Pomodoro?
==============
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
There are five basic steps to implementing the technique:
1. Decide on the task to be done
2 .Set the pomodoro timer to 25 minutes
3. Work on the task until the timer rings
4. Take a short break (3 - 5 minutes)
5. After four pomodori, take a longer break (15 - 30 minutes)
The stages of planning, tracking, recording, processing and visualizing are fundamental to the technique. In the planning phase tasks are prioritized by recording them in a "To Do Today" list. This enables users to estimate the effort tasks require. As pomodori are completed, they are recorded, adding to a sense of accomplishment and providing raw data for subsequent self-observation and improvement.
An essential aim of the technique is to reduce the impact of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow. A pomodoro is indivisible. When interrupted during a pomodoro either the other activity must be recorded and postponed or the pomodoro must be abandoned.
