        It’s a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo. Basically it’s picking a task, doing it for 25 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break. It started when he was a university student struggling to get through reading for his sociology class and started using a timer just trying to hold focus for two minutes at the start. The kitchen timer he used was shaped like a tomato, or pomodoro in Italian as you stated.
