The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s
Most of the time we are not able to get anything dones because there are many things going on in the back of our mind. That email we need to respond, a report we need to send, a code review that needs to be done, credit card payment to be done. When we have too many things on our mind, it looses focus and we end up doing mediocre work.
Idea behind Pomodoro technique is that, identify most important task, even though there are multiple, identify just one. Set aside 25 mins to work on this idea and close everything else. Complete and uninterrupted focus and you will be surprised by the result.
