The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980's. As a university student in Italy, Cirillo used a kitchen timer, in the shape of a tomato, to study for 25 minutes, afterwards taking a 5 minute break, then resuming work for another 25 minutes and after 4 rounds he took a longer 30 minute break. He found it a productive way to work and because the timer which Cirillo used was in the shape of a tomato, he dubbed the method the Pomodoro Technique, pomodoro being the Italian word for tomato.
