Take a short break: Once the timer goes off, take a short break of about 5 minutes. Use this time to stretch, grab a snack, or do something else to refresh your mind. Repeat: Repeat steps 1- 4 three more times ( four " Pomodoros" in total) and then take a longer break of about 15- 20 minutes. Adjust as needed: As you become more comfortable with the technique, you can adjust the length of the "Pomodoros" and breaks to suit your needs. It's important to remember that the Pomodoro Technique is a flexible method, and you can adjust it to suit your needs and schedule. The key is to break your work into focused intervals with short breaks in between..
