Today’s post is fun and certainly ludique, but I hope it may also be useful to some readers.
The Pomodoro Technique is a way to manage time, developed by the Italian Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s – it took me a while to find out about it ;-).
The technique makes use of a tomato-shaped (pomodoro in Italian) timer to break down your work into periods separated by breaks. These are the some of the advantages put forward by its developer:
- You can work with time not against it
- Eliminate burnout
- Manage distractions
- Create a better work/life balance.
The official website also includes a number of articles about the technique published by the international press.
From Words to Deeds: translation & the law 
Thanks for sharing this video! I’ve heard the Pomodoro Technique mentioned so many times, but had never taken the time to find out what it’s actually about. I like the idea of measuring how many ‘Pomodoros’ it takes to complete a particular activity, and then estimating how many Pomodoros you will need for a similar activity. And the tomato timer is so cute – I’m sure it would help improve my focus. 🙂
🙂 I so agree about that timer being cute! Bound to cheer one up.
