Find answers to common questions about PomoNest, the Pomodoro Technique, and how to maximize your productivity with focused work sessions.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It involves working for 25-minute focused sessions (called 'Pomodoros') followed by 5-minute breaks. After 4 Pomodoros, you take a longer 15-30 minute break. This technique helps improve focus, reduce mental fatigue, and boost productivity.
