FINAL ASSIGNMENT
To help prevent procrastination, we could use what is called as Pomodoro technique,
which was founded by Francesco Cirillo at 1980's. Pomodoro is Italian for tomato.
The timer he uses that looks like a tomato.
Pomodoro Technique
Pomodoro technique is:
• Setting your timer to 25 minutes
• No interruption during the time
• Focus on the task during the time
• A little reward during 5 minutes after
a Pomodoro (25 minutes) session, the
rewards could be a little stretch, taking a
coffee, and rest
