The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

It's only an interruption if you're already busy and productive. This method helped me when I was going through a particularly bad period and couldn't get anything done. The end of the Pomodoro wasn't and interruption, but a goal that I was relieved to reach.
