Needs stronger evidence

The exact change

Before

"The Pomodoro Technique is not fundamentally about time management. It is about attention management, making the commitment to be fully present for a defined period and protecting that presence from the constant background pull of everything else competing for your focus." - Francesco Cirillo, The Pomodoro Technique, FC Garage, 2006

After

The Pomodoro Technique is not fundamentally about time management. It is about attention management, making the commitment to be fully present for a defined period and protecting that presence from the constant background pull of everything else competing for your focus, an idea central to Cirillo's original framing of the method.

Suggested change

De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.

Why this is better

De-attributed a quote presented as verbatim from Cirillo's book, phrased in modern academic cognitive-science language atypical of the book's original informal style and given with no page number, converting it to unattributed prose that preserves the underlying claim and still credits Cirillo generally for the idea.
