Use the interval to protect attention, not to race the clock
The familiar 25-minute timer is a useful entry point. The complete technique also includes planning, handling interruptions, recording effort and learning from each cycle.
- 01Choose one clear outcome
Write a task small enough to move during one focused interval.
- 02Start and protect the interval
Put avoidable distractions aside; note interruptions instead of chasing them.
- 03Stop when the timer ends
Take the break seriously. Stand, breathe, drink water or let your attention reset.
- 04Review, then begin again
After several focuses, take a longer break and adjust the durations to fit your work.
