Summary: Employees average only 2-3 hours of deep focus per day, and that time is fragmenting into smaller blocks. Research-backed techniques that restore sustained concentration in 2026 — energy-matched scheduling, micro-task batching, pre-work rituals, shutdown routines, and environment design.

## How the Pomodoro Technique Works

1. Pick a single task.
2. Set the timer for 25 minutes (one "pomodoro").
3. Work on the task with no interruptions until the timer rings.
4. Take a short 5-minute break.
5. Repeat. Every 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break.
