The greatest advantage of pomodoro technique is its simplicity. 25 minutes is a tomato clock, and we can magically enter a state of concentration in the countdown. A * * * only has four steps, tools, today's to-do list, enter the tomato clock, and rest.
It should be noted that during the break, you must put your work down temporarily, don't think about the work of the last tomato clock or the next tomato clock, and don't make important phone calls or write important emails, so that your brain can fully absorb the concussion of the past 25 minutes.
You can leave your office chair, take a walk or do some shoulder and neck exercises to relax. These are all good ways to rest. After the break, decide whether to continue the same activity or change it.

If you eat too much, you will have a little indigestion, because people's energy is limited after all, and novices can start training from 8 tomato clocks.
