Pomodoro Technique is a time management method by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. There are six steps in the original technique: 1. Decide on the task to be done. 2. Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes). 3. Work on the task. 4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper. 5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes) and then return to step 2; otherwise continue to step 6. 6. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
