A Pomodoro Consists of 25 minutes Plus a Five-Minute Break 

After Every Four Pomodoros Comes a 15-30 Minute Break 

The Pomodoro Is Indivisible. There are no half or quarter Pomodoros

If a Pomodoro Begins, It Has to Ring:

If a Pomodoro is interrupted definitively – i.e. the interruption isn’t handled – it’s considered void, never begun, and it can’t be recorded with an X.

If an activity is completed once a Pomodoro has already begun, continue reviewing the same activity until the Pomodoro rings.

Protect the Pomodoro. Inform effectively, negotiate quickly to reschedule the interruption, call back the person who interrupted you as agreed.

If It Lasts More Than 5-7 Pomodoros, Break It Down. Complex activities should be divided into several activities.

If It Lasts Less Than One Pomodoro, Add It Up. Simple tasks can be combined.

Results Are Achieved Pomodoro after Pomodoro.

The Next Pomodoro Will Go Better
