Pomodoro Technique Instructions
The materials you will need:
Pen & Tracking Sheet
Timer (you can use your watch, cell phone, or grab a mechanical timer)
Note: The creator of this technique encourages the use of a mechanical timer. Cirillo
indicates that the physical act of winding the timer confirms the user’s determination to start
the task; ticking externalizes desire to complete the task, and ringing announces a break.
Flow and focus become associated with these physical stimuli (source).
How to get started with Pomodoro, in six steps:
1.Choose a task you’d like to get done.
2.Set the Pomodoro for 25 minutes (the Pomodoro is the timer)
3.Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings.
4.When the Pomodoro rings, put a checkmark on a paper.
5.Take a short break (3-5 minutes). Go for a walk, breathe, relax.
6.Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer break (20 to 30 minutes).
A few tips:
After setting the timer focus only on the task at hand.This means no distractions or
interruptions. I usually will turn my phone off or at least have it out of view so that I’m not
tempted by notifications.
If you think of something that you need to work on later, just write it down on a piece of
paper and then get back to work.
During the breaks make sure you’re not doing anything work-related. Step away from
whatever you’re doing and take an actual break.
Make sure to take the long break after the four Pomodoros. According to the creator of
the technique, your brain will use this time to assimilate new information and rest before
the next round of Pomodoros.
