Pomodoro Technique

A technique to do mental tasks more effeciently.

Proccess :
1. Choose a task

2. Timer ( use the application)

3. Work on taks ( focus only on the task / no multitasking )

4. Take short breaks

5. Repeat

6. Record Progress

The good thing about this technique is that it is flexible and adjustable you have a
timer for focusing on your task and short breaks and then a long break after
several repeats.
I should monitor the task compilition in the long rest timer.

Pomodoro
The average time that people can deeply focus on a task can
vary, and it depends on several factors, including individual
differences, the nature of the task, and external conditions.
However, there is a concept known as the "Pomodoro," which
suggests that the optimal focus time for many people is around
25 minutes.

Francesco Cirillo, the creator of the Pomodoro Technique,


originally chose 25 minutes as the length of a Pomodoro based
on his observations and experiments. The idea is that this time
frame strikes a balance between maintaining concentration
and preventing mental fatigue. After each 25-minute focus

period, a short break of around 5 minutes is recommended to
relax and recharge.

It's important to note that individual attention spans can vary.


Some people may find they can sustain deep focus for longer
than 25 minutes, while others may need shorter intervals.
Factors such as the complexity of the task, personal energy
levels, and the presence of distractions also play a role.

Research in cognitive psychology has suggested that


sustained attention and focus tend to decline after a certain
period. The concept of "ultradian rhythms" proposes that our
natural attention span may follow a cycle of approximately 90
minutes, after which taking a break or switching tasks could be
beneficial for maintaining productivity.

In summary, while the Pomodoro Technique popularized the


idea of 25-minute focused intervals, there is no one-size-fits-
all answer to the average time people can deeply focus. It's
beneficial to experiment and find the duration that works best
for you based on your own attention span and the
requirements of the task at hand.

Based on this text we should put focus on a task for about 90 minutes after that
the mental effectiveness will decrease so for each task that we should
concentrate and focus on the timer break down should be like this :

25 minutes focus- 5 minutes break

25 minutes focus - 5 minute break

25 minutes focus - 5 minute break

25 minutes focus - 15 minutes break

Monitor the effectiveness

in total there is 100 minutes of focus on a single task without multi tasking and
about 30 minutes of resting.
