Quick Answer
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
// Answer
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method that breaks work into focused 25-minute intervals (called "pomodoros") separated by 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros you take a longer 15–30 minute break. It reduces burnout and helps maintain concentration.
