Use the Pomodoro Technique Francesco Cirillo, developer of the Pomodoro technique, says people are most productive in 25-minute blocks. Plan a Time and Make a Habit Put time on the calendar and commit to that time. You don’t have to come with ideas or inspiration, but you do have to show up and follow through.
