One of the interesting time
management techniques that I use frequently is the Pomodoro technique. A Pomodoro defines the time limit of 1 unit of
work...
Following are the typical rules of a classic Pomodoro:

A Pomodoro consists of 25 minutes plus a 5-minute break. After every four Pomodoros comes a 15-30 minute break .The Pomodoro is indivisible ie., if a Pomodoro begins, it has to ring. If a Pomodoro is interrupted definitively causing a break in the activity it’s considered void and never begun. If an activity is completed once a Pomodoro has already begun, you need to continue reviewing the activity until the Pomodoro rings.

The key challenge of the Pomodoro technique will be to protect the current activity against interruptions , both internal and external.
My personal opinion on this technique is that it would work well for
scenarios where the task to be done is by an individual and when there is less
scope for external disruption. It would work well for example when you are
studying for an exam. Pomodoro technique helps you to focus and makes you self-aware of the interruptions.
