'The Pomodoro', the concentration technique that sweeps TikTok created in the 80s

Confess. Most of the time you spend scrolling on TikTok, or any other social network, it's because you're bored or because you have to accomplish some task that you're trying to put off or avoid until the last minute. Rather the latter, right? Don't worry, it happens to all of us.

Perhaps that is why it has been within TikTok where the use of a concentration technique called The Pomodoro (The Tomato) has been recovered and whose invention dates back to the 1980s when the University professor Francesco Cirillo resorted to the classic timer with a shape tomato (which is used to measure the doneness of food in the kitchen) to organize all the work he had to do. How?

It is surely one of the simplest concentration methods in the world, but also one of the most effective. It involves performing tasks in 25-minute intervals. I mean, do you have to clean the house? Set the timer for 25 minutes and clean non-stop during that period. When the alarm goes off, take a 5-minute break and start over.

Emma Jefferys, productivity coach at Action Woman, says that this method allows us to focus fully on the task while we do it. In fact, Jefferys likens The Pomodoro to high-intensity workouts in that they concentrate effort into short, but intense, periods of time.

A concentration technique that is undergoing a new online rebirth due to the fact that the pandemic has caused our attention span to be compromised by the stress and anxiety that we have all experienced at some point in this health crisis that we are still emerging from. .
