Francesco Cirillo

Francesco Cirillo is an Italian software developer and entrepreneur best known for creating the Pomodoro Technique, a time management method that improves productivity. The technique involves working in focused 25-minute intervals, called "Pomodoros," followed by short breaks. This approach helps people maintain concentration and prevent burnout. Cirillo developed the method in the late 1980s while managing software projects and has since promoted it worldwide through books, workshops, and tools, helping individuals and teams work more efficiently by balancing work and rest effectively.
