How CEOs use Pomodoro to increase productivity

In the fast-paced world of executive leadership, the scarcest resource is not capital, but time. CEOs of major companies face a constant barrage of interruptions, meetings, and critical decisions. For many, the Pomodoro technique is not just a time management tool, but a safeguard for mental sanity.

The Focus on Decision "Sprints"

The Pomodoro technique consists of working in 25-minute blocks with total focus, followed by a 5-minute break. For a CEO, these 25 minutes are sacred. During this time, emails are ignored, the phone is on "Do Not Disturb," and the only thing that matters is the task at hand.

Why it works for the C-suite?

• Reduction of decision fatigue: By dividing the day into blocks, the brain has regular moments of "reset."
• Mental clarity: The timer creates a sense of urgency that eliminates procrastination on complex tasks.
• Strategic breaks: The 5-minute intervals are used to stretch, hydrate, or simply breathe, keeping energy high until the end of the day.
