Pomodoro

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980's. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros, the plural in English of the Italian word pomodoro (tomato), after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.
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 pomodoros are completed, they are recorded, adding to a sense of accomplishment and providing raw data for subsequent self-observation and improvement.
For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is the interval of time spent working. After task completion, any time remaining in the pomodoro is devoted to over learning. Regular breaks are taken, aiding assimilation. A short (3–5 minutes) rest separates consecutive pomodoros. Four pomodoros form a set. A longer (15–30 minute) rest is taken between sets. A goal of the technique is to reduce the impact of internal and external interruptions on focus and flow.
I also had a experience of using this technique from which I enjoyed a lot. I took this activity as a fun which helps me in enjoying this activity rather than be bored from this activity. When I took this activity as a fun it helps me to achieve maximum benefit from this activity and I achieved a lot within specified time and it improved my efficiency on completing the task which I was supposed to be completed by using this pomodoro technique as well.
After visualizing the benefits of this technique I made a promise with myself to use it in every task whether it is easy or it is difficult for me which enhances my experience as well.
