Pomodoro Technique - The 25-Minute Study Session

There are 6 steps in the Pomodoro Technique: 

This image lists out the steps of the pomodoro technique. 1. Set out the task to do. 2. Work for 25 minutes (1 "pomodoro"). 3. Record your progress. 4. Take a short break. 5. Back to work. 6. After 4 "pomodoro," take a long break. 7. Repeat.

The creator of the Pomodoro Technique, Francesco Cirillo, encourages a low-tech approach, using a mechanical timer, paper and pencil. The physical act of winding the timer confirms the user's determination to start the task, the timer ticking externalizes the desire to complete the task, and the timer ringing announces a break. Flow and focus become associated with these physical stimuli.
