I create a simple Trello board where I have a backlog, where I enter any task, any items that I want to get done. It’s all figuring out what works best for you.

Then, at the end, you take that longer break of 25 minutes, 20, 30 minutes, whatever makes sense to you and works for you. One Pomodoro cycle is a planning session, followed by four work sessions and breaks. Again, the whole goal is to increase your productivity, get more done in the limited time that you have. Go for a longer walk, stretch your legs, and rejuvenate.

Then, after four work sessions, 25-minutes of focused work followed by 5-minute breaks, you take a longer break, 20 to 30 minutes to really refresh your mind. It’s all about increased productivity.įrom there, at the end of that work cycle, you take a five-minute break, a short, little break to refresh your mind. Now, there’s no hard rule around if you’re making incredible progress at 25 minutes to stop, so continue working. From there, you take the highest priority task and work on it for an uninterrupted 25 minutes. I’d highly recommend it, at least giving it a try.Īt the core, you start off by planning, figuring out what your priorities are and what task you want to accomplish. So I figured, “What the heck? Let’s give it a try.” Since then, I’ve seen almost an immediate increase in productivity, while implementing the Pomodoro Technique. I first learned of the Pomodoro Technique several years ago while reading Quora posting, and felt it was pretty simple and easy to implement.
