Intro:
Your most precious asset is your time. There are 24 hours in each day. Everyone is in the same boat. I've overheard busy folks joke about how they need more hours in the day to do their tasks. True, those people may be extremely busy, but it does not imply that they are productive. People who are more productive do not have more hours in the day than others. They manipulate time in such a manner that they appear to have superhuman abilities. I'll show you one of the basic tactics you can apply right now to make the most of your day in this post. The Pomodoro Technique is what it's called.
“One day we will be more creative, more productive yet more relaxed” - Francesco Cirillo
What is Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that allows you to focus on your work while removing distractions, resulting in enhanced productivity. After a difficult start in his first year of university in the 1980s, Francesco Cirillo created the technique. Cirillo utilised a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to boost his attention and block out distractions while studying. He set his pomodoro (or tomato, as we call it in English) timer for 10 minutes, and voilà! His academic abilities have increased! Pomodoro requires setting a timer to divide down work into 25 minute chunks, interrupted by brief breaks, since Francesco didn't stop at 10 minutes, but steadily extended his concentration time.

How does Pomodoro work?
Although using the Pomodoro technique to complete your work is rather straightforward, I've outlined all of the procedures you should follow to ensure you get the most out of it.
1. Start a 25-minute timer on your phone or time tracking app.
2. Completely focus on your work for the next 25 minutes.
3. Stop once the alarm goes off.
4. Take a 5-minute break.
5. Resume working for another 25 minutes and taking a break for another 5 minutes.
6. After 4 cycles, take a 30-minute break.
Repeat the process until you have finished the project or your workday.
