What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. The name 'Pomodoro' comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Francesco Cirillo, who developed the technique, used while he was a university student.
