This document provides information on using the Pomodoro Technique, a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. It lists the simple tools needed which include a timer, activity inventory sheet, and to-do sheet. The technique involves writing tasks on the to-do sheet, setting the timer for 25 minutes to work on the first task, marking it off when done, and taking a short break before moving to the next task. Every 4 pomodoros a longer break is taken. The benefits include enhanced focus, awareness, productivity and balance of individual and team work.
