Welcome to Pomodoro Hero ! The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system that encourages people to work with the time they have—rather than against it This is about focus Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as pomodoros. What do you do in a 5 minute Pomodoro break? One important thing to remember is that this short break is meant to be a break. The key here is you should spend the time doing something completely different than what you had been doing. You can have a short walk,meditate, drink water, stretch, clean etc.."
