The Science Behind the Game
The Science Behind Pomodoro Technique
Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, the Pomodoro Technique is based on the principle that frequent breaks improve mental agility. Research shows that sustained attention naturally declines after 20-30 minutes, making timed intervals optimal for maintaining focus and preventing cognitive fatigue.
