Timer: The most essential feature of the Pomodoro Technique is a timer. It is typically set for 25 minutes, and this interval is known as a "pomodoro." Breaks: After each pomodoro, there is a short break of 3-5 minutes. After completing four consecutive pomodoros, a longer break of 15-30 minutes is taken. Planning: Before starting a pomodoro, it is important to plan what task or tasks will be worked on during that interval. Focus: During each pomodoro, the focus is solely on the task at hand.
