25/5 Pomodoro Timer | Rainy Cafe with lofi music for Relaxing, Studying and Working | 4 x 25 min

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The term “Pomodoro” (Italian for “tomato”) comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used when developing the technique. It helps improve focus, productivity, and manage mental fatigue by breaking work into structured intervals.

The basic structure of the Pomodoro Technique includes:
Work in intervals: Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on a task with full concentration. This is called a “Pomodoro.”
Short break: After 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break to relax, stretch, or do something non-work-related.
Repeat: After completing four Pomodoros (100 minutes of work), take a longer break of about 15 to 30 minutes.
Key Principles:
Focused work: You commit to a single task during each Pomodoro, minimizing distractions.
Regular breaks: Frequent breaks prevent burnout and allow you to maintain focus over long periods.
Tracking progress: You can track how many Pomodoros you complete for each task.
The Pomodoro Technique is particularly useful for tasks that require sustained focus, as it helps break down large projects into manageable chunks while keeping you refreshed and productive.

In this method:

25 minutes of focused work (called a “Pomodoro”) is followed by a 5-minute break.
After completing four cycles of 25 minutes of work and 5-minute breaks (i.e., 2 hours), you take a longer break, usually around 15–30 minutes.
This approach helps maintain productivity while preventing burnout by balancing intense focus periods with regular breaks for mental recovery.

The 25-minute work period encourages concentrated effort, and the short breaks help refresh your mind before diving back into work.
