Pomodoro Technique – 60 second video

Video transcript – 

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management technique developed by Francisco Cirilo. It involves using a timer to break down work into 25 minute long intervals, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for a tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student. Using this technique is a great way to help you focus on your study.

Here’s how it works:

  • Choose a task
  • Set the alarm for 25 minutes
  • Work on the taskTake a short break – maybe 5 minutes
  • Start again
  • Every 4 rounds take a longer break – maybe 30 minutes

If you become distracted whilst you are working, or realise you have something else to do, write it down on a piece of paper and come back to it later when your 25 minutes of focus is over.

This is a great way to study, especially if you start each pomodoro by recalling what you learnt in the previous one. Trying to recall what you have previously learnt is a great way to consolidate the memory and the pomodoro technique helps you develop a laser sharp focus.
