This 30-minute cycle is called a Pomodoro. If a Pomodoro is interrupted, you have to start the timer again. After four Pomodoros, have a longer break of 15-30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Carol and Noemi fleshed out these rules with descriptions of how you should plan your day&#8217;s work beforehand, and evaluate it at the end. This is important for efficiency, but also for motivation &#8212; it&#8217;s easier to stick with the technique if you can see the progress you&#8217;re making. The final rule is to remember that &#8220;The Next Pomodoro Will Go Better&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I have downloaded the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pomodorotechnique.com\/products.html\">Pomodoro Technique Book<\/a> and will try the technique for myself in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pomodoro Technique is a way of managing your time for improved productivity.
