What is Pomodoro?

Pomodoro is a technique developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 80s. The technique advocates viewpoint on time management which is used to provide focused concentration and freshness while working. By introducing the Pomodoro technique in your workplace you can accomplish your task faster without putting too much stress on your brain.

You can use this technique by dividing time into parts followed by short breaks. Traditionally, divided time cannot be longer than 25 minutes of time. After completing four Pomodoros you can take a long break that is 15 – 20 minutes. The term Pomodoro is a Italian name for vegetable tomato and come after tomato-shaped timer used by Francesco in a university demonstration.

How Pomodoro technique works?

Taking short breaks while working prevents you from getting bored and keeps your mind fresh and focused. If you have overloaded to do list still Pomodoro works effectively by pushing you to work faster. Working for small periods is less stressful and seeing your time running off will push you to complete your work faster. 

The technique also helps you to be more accountable as if you are not working up to the mark. It can be analysed easily by yourself by seeing less amount of work done in a Pomodoro.  Also, technique will help you to handle in a better way without being rushed. 

How to use Pomodoro Technique?

There are many devices available in the market to apply the technique including App as well. 

To apply the technique just write your goal on a notepad and start the physical timer.

Keep on working till timer ring the bell take a short break and start working again after setting timer. I am providing some ideas that will help you to use the technique effectively. 

  1. Use Stop Watch to set the time limit for work and break.
  2. You can set a mobile reminder on a specific time to ring. 
  3. Use Mobile app available on Playstore, iOS platforms.
  4. You can use a table clock to set the time as the clock alarms just stop working.
  5. There are physical Pomodoro techniques that you can buy online or from your nearby market.

Pomodoro Technique: What I feel?

To examine the technique I decided to use apply it while doing my day to day works. I simply install the Pomodoro app available on Google Play store. As I open the app a bright red interface appears on the screen I think red is chosen to denote Tomato🍅. 

Firstly tap the screen to add task you want to complete and start timer after 25 minutes the app will beep and congratulate you on completing 1 Pomodoro.

 As you tap screen it shows another timer that denotes the break time and same procedure goes again till 4 Pomodoro cycles because here come’s the time to take a big break of 15- 20 minutes. It was really fun doing work using this technique what I observe about the technique are as follows:

  • Easy going as working for Pomodoro will never make you feel working so long.
  • Simple as it needs only a timer to apply the technique.
  • Self evaluation even if you are working slow you can easily check that by seeing the work done by you. 
  • Keeps you motivate while working as you are receiving breaks as an incentive.
  • Reduces Backpain I know it is odd but I find due to body movement after every 25 minutes my body was much fresh and years long back pain just disappeared.
  • Makes you accountable towards your work writing task and working on for specif time period as you can check how many tasks you have done and what is remaining.
