The Pomodoro
Technique
Time Management

Dr. Sarah Evanick
“For many people, time is an enemy. We race against

the clock to finish assignments and meet deadlines.

The The Pomodoro Technique teaches you to work with


Pomodoro time, instead of struggling against it. A revolutionary
Technique time management system, it is at once deceptively

simple to learn and life-changing to use”
