What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s that helps you accomplish what you want to do by transforming time into a valuable ally. Why is it so popular? Because it is easy to use, and most of all, because it works!
Are you making the most of your Pomodoro?
While going through the many personal experiences that Pomodoro Users share on Pomodoro World, we noticed that the majority of experiences that people have refer to managing breaks, cutting down on interruptions, and completing tasks.
While all of these achievements are excellent, they only refer to Objectives One and Two of the Pomodoro Technique. The Pomodoro Technique's potential is actually much greater!
The goal of the technique is to help those who use it to develop a pleasant way to systematically observe, track and evaluate their time and be able to make self-improvements.
The Pomodoro Technique includes six objectives in total that you can work towards! (Note: These are covered in detail in the Pomodoro Technique book).
The technique's method is based on incremental objectives: five defined by the technique and the last one open to personal areas of improvement.
And when you think that you are ready, you can even certify yourself as a Pomodoro Master!
