The Pomodoro Technique

by Francesco Cirillo · 2013

The Pomodoro Technique presents the internationally acclaimed time‑management system created by Francesco Cirillo. Developed as a college student using a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato, the method breaks work into 25‑minute focused intervals called "pomodoros" followed by short breaks. By grouping pomodoros, readers learn to boost productivity, eliminate burnout, manage distractions, and achieve better work‑life balance using only a pen, paper, and a timer. The book includes updated material on teamwork and offers practical guidance for individuals and teams seeking to work with time rather than against it.
