Why Pomodoro?• Complexity is TOO high• Boring tasks, but we have to deal with • Hard work is done, but minor activities are not• Pressure and deadline• Work <-> Break transition• Underestimation and Overestimation• Too many things to do right now and right away• Simple and working approach• Transition from action to perfectionism

Basic• Choose the topmost task from the list• Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes• Work until the Pomodoro rings• Mark the task with an X on the To Do Sheet• Take a short break (3–5 minutes)

Rules• A Pomodoro is indivisible• If a task takes more than 5–7 Pomodoros, break it
down• If it takes less than one pomodoro, add it up, and
combine it with another task• Once a Pomodoro begins, it has to ring• The Pomodoro Technique isn’t for your free time
