Synopsis

Discover the internationally acclaimed time management system that’s gone viral on TikTok and has already changed millions of lives!

Francesco Cirillo developed his famed system for improving productivity as a college student thirty years ago. Using a kitchen timer shaped like a pomodoro (Italian for tomato), Cirillo divided the time he spent working on a project into 25-minute intervals, with 5-minute breaks in between, in order to get more done, without interruptions.  By grouping a number of pomodoros together, users can tackle a project of any length, and drastically improve their productivity, enhance their focus, and better achieve their goals.

Originally self-published, and shared virally online, this new publication of The Pomodoro Technique includes several new chapters on how teams can use the pomodoro method to save time and increase productivity. The process underlying Cirillo’s technique includes five stages: planning the day’s tasks, tracking your efforts, recording your daily activities, processing what you have done, and visualizing areas for improvement. With this tried and tested method, readers can simplify their work, find out how much time and effort a task really requires, and improve their focus so they can get more done in the same amount of time each day.

About The Author

FRANCESCO CIRILLO is a partner at Cirillo Consulting, a business-consulting firm based in Berlin, Germany, that works with many of the world's largest companies. He created the Pomodoro Technique while he was a university student looking for a way to get more done in less time. His system of working in 25-minute increments, without interruption, with 5-minute breaks, has been adopted by productivity experts the world over. Cirillo wrote a 130-page book on the technique in 2006, which he offered as a free download. It was downloaded more than two million times--about 250,000 times a year--before he took down the PDF down in 2013 and restricted access to the book to his personal website. This publication marks the first time the book has been available for purchase through retail channels.

Goodreads review by Mark

I'd been using the Pomodoro technique for years until it was pointed out to me that I probably wasn't. Really? Wind up a timer, work for 25 minutes, take a five minute break, repeat. What more could there be to the technique? Quite a bit, it turns out, so I decided to go to the source and read the or......more

Goodreads review by Ha

This technique is so simple and I have ignored many key things until reading this book: 1. The Rest is as important as the pomodoro. It is mandatory to refresh your mind for the next pomodoro. 2. If you finish the task before 25 minutes, don't work on other tasks or stop the pomodoro. The purpose to g......more
