The Pomodoro Technique...

This time management technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and is still very useful today.

The premise of the technique is to set your timer to a specific interval - 25 minutes is recommended - and focus on one task for that time without distraction. This uninterrupted focus allows you to efficiently complete the things you set before yourself by managing both your time and attention.

The technique got it's name from the tomato shaped timer that Cirillo used; tomato in Italian is pomodoro.
