Trying to maintain uninterrupted concentration and getting lost in unimportant details is bad for your productivity. Furthermore, research shows that sitting for too long is bad for your health (back, metabolism, heart, and brain) and significantly increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and premature death.
The Pomodoro Technique is a scientifically proven methodology to increase productivity invented by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It is a cyclical system, where you work in short sprints (25 minutes are recommended) interrupted by short breaks (5 minutes - get up!). Before starting a sprint, you choose a task to work on exclusively. If you are distracted during a sprint, you postpone the issue until after the sprint or - if the issue requires immediate attention - end the sprint. Every 4 sprints, you end the session and take a longer break (15-30 minutes). During this time, your brain will process recent information and prepare for the next session of 4 sprints.
