Is all about working in short, massively productive, intensely focused bursts, and then giving yourself a brief break:

• Choose a task
• Set your timer for 25 minutes
• Work on the task until the timer ends
• Take a short break (around 5 minutes)
• Every 4 Pomodoro sessions, take a longer break (15-30 minutes).

You take full advantage of the energy peaks and troughs that occur throughout your day: Work 90 minutes and then rest for 20-30 minutes.

Working in 90-minute bursts allows you to correlate your maximum energy levels with your task list, which then gives your productivity a major boost. You’re working with your body instead of against it.

Polyphasic sleepers break up sleep into multiple short phases, which allows for less sleep overall and significant increases in productivity.

The amount of sleep in each phase can vary, with some people sleeping only in 20-minute naps and others grabbing larger chunks of sleep and then supplementing with naps.
