Hey there,  
At Blinkist, our mission is to help you keep learning new, exciting things.

One minute a day is all it takes to  
be a lifelong learner, and a dive into the blinks is just a click away.  
Let’s start with a simple yet powerful productivity technique that will help put you in high gear  
today.  
Instant productivity: The Pomodoro Technique  
Do you struggle with procrastination? Have trouble maintaining focus?  
Check your emails every five  
minutes? The Pomodoro Technique might just be right for you!  
This simple productivity method works by dicing up your workday into 25 minute chunks of totally  
focused work called pomodoros, separated by five minute breaks.  
If you’re curious about the name,  pomodoro  is Italian for  tomato  and the Italian founder of  
the technique used the popular tomato shaped kitchen timer to time his work!  
The idea is that, while you may struggle to focus for long periods, a measly 25 minutes is almost  
always doable, and the mandatory five minute breaks ensure you’re refreshed enough to tackle the  
next pomodoro. The end result is that you get much more done during your workday.  
So what are you waiting for? Pick a task, set a

timer  
for 25 minutes and give it a go!  
How do you deal with interruptions at work?  
That’s another question answered by The Pomodoro  
Technique by Francesco Cirillo.
