What is Pomodoro Technique?

The technique was created by a developer, entrepreneur, and author Francesco Cirillo. He noticed that when faced with large tasks or a series of assignments, we’re able to be most effective if we break the work down into short, timed intervals (called “Pomodoros”) which are spaced out by short breaks.
In essence, it is a cyclical system based around working in short bursts of 25 minutes with intermittent breaks, of 5 minutes, which can help to improve motivation, creativity and efficiency.

How to Use It

I used to use the Pomodoro Technique back when I was a student as a way to motivate myself to long study sessions. My problem with this technique is that I personally warm up after 20-30 minutes of doing work so in a classic version of the Pomodoro Technique that's exactly when I'd have to stop working. If you're having the same issue a good thing to do is to switch the 25/5 minutes intervals to something like 45/15 minutes where you do the work for 45 minutes and after that, you take a 15-minute break.
