Pomodoro Technique

  1. Decide on the task to be done.

  2. Set the pomodoro timer (typically for 25 minutes).[1]

  3. Work on the task.

  4. End work when the timer rings and take a short break (typically 5–10 minutes).[5]

  5. If you have finished fewer than three pomodoros, go back to Step 2 and repeat until you go through all three pomodoros.

  6. After three pomodoros are done, take the fourth pomodoro and then take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes). Once the long break is finished, return to step 2.
