Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design, the method has been adopted in pair programming contexts.[4] Description[edit] There are six steps in the original technique: For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is the interval of time spent working.[1] Cirillo suggests: Tools[edit] Variations[edit] Elon Musk.

“You think you have a memory; but it has you!” —John Irving. Irving’s quote nicely captures our hunch that we are slaves to our memories. Will I recall someone’s name? What moment from my past will come back to delight, perplex or daunt me? These uncertainties prompt many people to say their memory is awful, a comment distinguished memory researcher Professor Alan Baddeley hears all the time. “I have a good memory and would argue, despite its occasionally embarrassing fallibility, that both my memory and yours exceed that of the best computer in terms of capacity, flexibility, and durability.”
