The Basics
At the beginning of each day select the tasks you need to complete and put them on the TODO list above.
Start working:
1. Start the Pomodoro timer
2. Work until the Pomodoro rings
3. Take a short break (3-5 minutes)
Keep on working, Pomodoro after Pomodoro, until the task at hand is finished. Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer break, (15 - 30 minutes).

Rules & Tips
• If a task takes more than 5 - 7 Pomodoros, break it down
• If it takes less than one Pomodoro, add it up, and combine it with another task
• Once a Pomodoro begins, it has to ring
• The next Pomodoro will go better
• Login to the service and track your progress
• The Pomodoro Technique shouldn’t be used for activities you do in your free time. Enjoy free time!
