Once you finish a pomodoro and make progress with your task, you can check off or fill in the pomodoro circle. Each circle would be one pomodoro (25 minutes) and you would estimate how many pomodoros it would take you to finish the task. I also realized that this method would work perfectly with the Bullet Journal by drawing out circles next to tasks. I looked forward to the short break and once the time was up somehow my mind was refreshed enough to get to work. I found that it did help increase my efficiency. When I first learned of this concept many years ago, I thought it was brilliant and I went ahead and tried it out.

The concept works because you're able to commit to a short amount of time of maximized efficiency while looking forward to a short break. The idea is to commit to working on only one task for this period of time and then you'll have a short break to refresh your mind. It's a method created by Francisco Cirillo in the 80's to help you improve your productivity by encouraging you to focus on only one task at a time for a certain amount time, most notably for 25 minutes, along with a 5-minute break.
