Pomodoro is Italian for tomato, which is the shape of the timer that the method inventor, Francesco Cirillo, used as he was developing his technique. For the method itself, the Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that aims to maximize productivity through focused sessions of work. It specifies to divide work in intervals of 25 minutes, also called a Pomodoro session. After each interval, the worker takes a short break of about 5 minutes. During the session, the worker provides complete focus on the task and only on the task.
