Using a kitchen timer shaped like a \u003ci\u003epomodoro\u003c\/i\u003e (Italian for \u003ci\u003etomato\u003c\/i\u003e), Cirillo divided the time he spent working on a project into 25-minute intervals, with 5-minute breaks in between, in order to get more done, without interruptions. By grouping a number of \u003ci\u003epomodoros \u003c\/i\u003etogether, users can tackle a project of any length, and drastically improve their productivity, enhance their focus, and better achieve their goals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally self-published, and shared virally online, this new publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Pomodoro Technique \u003c\/i\u003eincludes several new chapters on how teams can use the \u003ci\u003epomodoro\u003c\/i\u003e method to save time and increase productivity. The process underlying Cirillo's technique includes five stages: \u003cb\u003eplanning\u003c\/b\u003e the day's tasks, \u003cb\u003etracking\u003c\/b\u003e your efforts, \u003cb\u003erecording\u003c\/b\u003e your daily activities, \u003cb\u003eprocessing\u003c\/b\u003e what you have done, and \u003cb\u003evisualizing \u003c\/b\u003eareas for improvement.

He created the Pomodoro technique while a unversity student, looking for a way to get more done in less time. His system of working in 25 minute increments, without interruption, with five minute breaks, has been adopted by productivity experts the world over. Cirillo wrote a 130 page book on the technique in 2006 which he offered as a free download. It was downloaded over 2 million times -- about 250,000 times a year -- before the author took the pdf down in 2013, and restricted access to the book to his personal website.
