Publisher's summary

Available through bookstores for the first time, the internationally acclaimed time management system that has been used by millions, written by Francesco Cirillo, creator of the Pomodoro Technique.

Francesco Cirillo developed his famed system for improving productivity as a college student 30 years ago. Using a kitchen timer shaped like a pomodoro (Italian for tomato), 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 pomodoros together, users can tackle a project of any length, and drastically improve their productivity, enhance their focus, and better achieve their goals.

Originally self-published, and shared virally Online, this new publication of The Pomodoro Technique includes several new chapters on how teams can use the pomodoro method to save time and increase productivity. The process underlying Cirillo’s technique includes five stages: planning the day’s tasks, tracking your efforts, recording your daily activities, processing what you have done, and visualizing areas for improvement. With this tried and tested method, listeners can simplify their work, find out how much time and effort a task really requires, and improve their focus so they can get more done in the same amount of time each day.

Useful; but needs pdfs

Useful and a better, more authentic explanation of the komodo so technique. would be better if easier access to templates and example pdfs were included

Good technique

The technique sounds good and efficiency, the book however is too repetitive. I will apply this technique to my daily routine and, if it works, I come back here and enhance my review.

Being organized can be simple

Elegant and up to date explanation of using the 25 minute tomato timer to get things done. As the author explains, time management should not add needless complexity. this book will help you understand these powerful land simple daily routines for personal and team productivity. This book makes the world better.

Good audio

The reading of the book was good. In my opinion the technique seems too complicated and cumbersome.

not for everyone

this is not the most convincing case for time management, but may work for someone, but not for me.

Not best as an audible

This book has a time honored principle with a twist. The tomato timer, but it is not well suited to listen to and would be better I think in the book form.

Disappointing

I had high hopes for this book. But it did not meet my expectations. Too hard to listen to as an audiobook. Too repetitive. And I was wanting help with my time management, not a team.
