If you’re like me, you might get distracted and forget!Ģ5 minutes might be more than enough time to make a sizable dent in your cleaning duties.

Be sure to set another timer for that 5 minutes too, if you plan to get back to cleaning. The Pomodoro technique suggests setting a timer for 25 minutes, then taking a 5 minute break.
