Pomodoro Technique:

Energize Your Focus with Intentional Breaks

Grab your journal and your The LOTUS Within book (https://www.amazon.com/LOTUS-Within-Purpose-Ignite-Passion/dp/B0DDRDXB89). This week is on the Pomodoro Technique.

Have you ever felt your focus wane after long stretches of work? The Pomodoro Technique offers a simple yet powerful way to maintain energy and prevent burnout by working in short, focused intervals.

🍅 What is the Pomodoro Technique?

This method breaks work into 25-minute intervals (called “Pomodoros”), separated by short 5-minute breaks. After completing four Pomodoros, you take a longer break to recharge.

It’s designed to balance productivity and rest, helping you sustain concentration without exhaustion.

✨ Why This Matters

For women balancing multiple roles, Pomodoro helps create manageable, bite-sized work periods that prevent overwhelm. It encourages focus and refreshment, boosting efficiency and wellbeing.
