What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a simple way to boost focus and productivity: you work in short, timed sessions—usually 25 minutes—followed by a quick break. After several cycles, you take a longer rest. This method helps you stay on task, avoid burnout, and track your progress throughout the day.
