完整地讲解了如何使用番茄工作法，以及实施过程中的注意点。用词浅显易懂，很多图例进一步解释作者想要表达的语义。非常推荐。即使没有读过Francesco Cirillo的“The Pomodoro Technique”也可以轻松上手。适合0基础的初学者。
This was a dry, slow, non-linear, often repetitive read and ultimately, only marginally helpful to me. I think that it could have been condensed into a very few sentences: Create to-do list. Quickly prioritize. Set timer and get to work. When timer goes off, take a brief break and re-evaluate priorities. Set timer and do it all over again and again until the sun goes down or some such. Well, there you go. I don't consider this an epiphany nor a revelation.
I am about 2/3 of the way through this book currently.
The Pomodoro method is pretty simple, in its most raw form:
- break your tasks up into 25 minute chunks, with a 5 min break in between (15 min after 4)
- always work on the mots important thing during your next Pomodoro
If you're looking for a description of the method, that's it in a nutshell; don't buy this book. Also, if you're an impatient person, don't buy this book.
If you want to know why the method works, and some of the science behind it, then get the book. Or, if you like understanding the entirety of a concept before implementing it, then get the book.
All the best to you in your time management endeavors!

This is a very simple and easy book to read. It is by no means a comprehensive time management system.
Many time management systems focus on strategic goals in life - i.e. 7 habits of highly effective people.
The pomodoro technique is highly tactical. Rather than answering the question, "what should I do in life?", it attempts to answer the question, "What should I do right now?"
The technique involves basically prioritizing tasks for the day, and then commiting to working on particular tasks in 'pomodoros' which are blocks of focused time - recommended at 25 min a piece. For a particular pomodoro, one commits to ignoring all distractions - including distractions from OTHER work pulling at you.
Sound simple? It is and it isn't. Anything that interrupts a pomodoro invalidates it. A coworker interrupts, a bathroom break? Doesn't count as a pomodoro.
The purpose is to truly instill the discipline of focus. and to learn how to divert interruptions. The technique urges timing each pomodoro, and keeping a record of interruptions, so that one might improve at it. Between pomodoros breaks are allowed, but these are recommended to be time boxed as well.
In practice, it is surprisingly difficult to complete more than 4-6 pomodoros in a day (for me at least), and striving to do so has improved my prioritization and focus. The author does NOT recommend that a person live their life by the pomodoro, but rather use it as a tool for when they want to get serious work done. I find that it complements other agile practices quite nicely and have found it useful to implement from time to time when appropriate.
Recommended.
I have purchased (from Amazon) dozens of these Pomodoro Technique Illustrated books and given them away as gifts.
The reason I have bought so many of them: I have personally experienced a huge productivity bump from the Pomodoro Technique and want to evangelize my friends, colleagues, and customers. This book explains the whys and hows of the technique succinctly.
If the Pomodoro Technique is not applicable to you, this book is a waste of time. So to whom is it applicable? To someone with tasks to do at a computer or desk. For instance, programmers and software designers made this famous.
On the other hand, it is not applicable to anyone with less structurable work - for example calls, travel, appointments, customer interface, or an interruptible office environment,
Most people can benefit from the technique at least some of the time. Even if you are in sales, for example, you still have paperwork. On the days you have to sit down and do the paperwork, write reports, read, research, clean up emails or other desk work, this technique is a life-changer. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, it is gaining popularity among Fortune 500 CEO's.
If you want to quickly understand the Pomodoro Technique, or explain it to others, this book is excellent.
