Typically the Pomodoro technique requires some level of manual labor in which you:
- Choose a task to work on.
- Put away all distractions — turn off the notifications on your email, put your phone in a drawer, turn off the TV, and tell your family that you need some focus time.
- Set a timer for 25 minutes, and work until the timer goes off.
- Take a five-minute break (again, set the timer).
