The Pomodoro Technique is a time management technique developed by Italian students to help students study more efficiently. By taking a 5-minute short break after 25 minutes of studying, and a 15- to 30-minute long break after the fourth study session, you can study efficiently without losing concentration. Pomodoro is the Italian word for tomato, and it was named this way because people used to manage their time using kitchen timers with a tomato design.
