Did you know? The Pomodoro Technique was invented by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It is named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used as a university student. Research from the University of Illinois (2011) found that brief diversions from a task dramatically improve focus over prolonged periods.
