This document discusses the Pomodoro Technique time management method. It begins with an introduction of the speaker and then: 1. Explains that the Pomodoro Technique uses short intervals (typically 25 minutes) of work followed by short breaks, and that a Pomodoro refers to each interval. 2. Describes the characteristics of the technique, including that it aims to train sustainability through intervals similar to interval training, and that it strictly prohibits interruptions during the work period. 3. Outlines the cycle of the technique, which involves 25 minutes of work followed by a 5 minute break, and a longer break every 4 intervals.
