<p>The Pomodoro Technique developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s uses a timer to break down work into 25 min. intervals separated by 5 min. breaks each of these intervals is called a "pomodoro" (after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer originally used to track them).</p>
<p>After you’ve completed four sprints, take a longer break (15-30 min.) to refresh for your next series of sprints. <a href="https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/pomodoro-technique" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more...</a></p>
<h2>How to set up a Pomodoro workflow in Todoist:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Create a “Pomodoro” project in Todoist and within it create 8-10 recurring Pomodoros (1st Pomodoro, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).</li>
<li>In your Today view, arrange all your daily tasks underneath each Pomodoro. Estimate how long each task would take to complete. If a task takes more than 30 minutes, break it up into smaller sub-tasks.</li>
<li>When you start working on a Pomodoro, set a timer (traditionally to 25 min.). After completing each pomodoro, mark it as done and take a short break (3-5 min.). Once you complete four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 min.) to refresh for your next session.</li>
</ol>
