What Is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a proven productivity method that breaks work into short, laser-focused sprints followed by quick rests. The classic rhythm is 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest, but many people prefer longer cycles like 52 / 17 or even 90 / 20. Experiment to find the cadence that keeps you fresh and in flow.

Tips for Staying on Track

• Mute the first beep. Start quiet so you don’t blast your ears.
• Stand up during breaks. Stretch, hydrate, look away from the screen.
• Log your cycles. Two hours of deep work is just four 25 / 5 rounds.
• Need a simple countdown? Try our 10-minute timer.
