It is a personal time management technique that allows you to increase focus on the task at hand. The technique involves breaking up tasks into 25 minute periods called "tomatoes" followed by short breaks.
Basic principles:
1. Decide on the task that you will perform.
2. Set the tomato (timer) on for 25 minutes.
3. Work without distraction until the timer rings. If something distracts in your head, write it down and get back to work immediately.
4. Take a short break (3-5 minutes).
5. After every 4th "tomato" take a long break (15-30 minutes).
Using this method, one can easily "sit down" at work, train attention, and increase personal effectiveness in the fight against procrastination.
