Principles
The keys to the Tomato Work Method are planning, tracking, recording, processing, and visualization. During the planning phase, tasks are prioritized into a "To Do Today" list. This allows the user to anticipate the amount of work that will be required for each task. At the end of each Tomato Hour, the results are recorded to enhance the participant's sense of accomplishment and provide raw data for future self-observation and improvement.
Tomato hour refers to the length of each work period. When the task is completed, all the time left on the tomato timer is used for overlearning. Short breaks can assist in achieving the psychological effect of assimilation, with 3-5 minute short breaks separating each tomato work period. Four tomato working hours form a group. A 15-50 minute long break separates each group of work.
