Pomodoro, the Italian word for tomato, was the shape of the kitchen timer used by Francesco Cirillo, who invented this popular technique for getting things done.
He would do one task for 25 minutes, and once the timer buzzed, he would take a 5-minute break. Rinse and repeat.
This technique is superb for getting in the zone when studying. It’s much easier to tell yourself to study for 25 minutes than an entire hour.
The little break you get in between will also serve to refresh your brain before taking on the next chapter.
One task, one tomato at a time.
