Keep doing it, for the rest of the day and the next, and the day after that.
Mark every Pomodoro you complete in your notebook. Open the clock app on your phone, and set the timer for 25 minutes. Put your phone on Do Not Disturb or Airplane mode. Minimize all other windows, and mute all notifications. Maximize it so it takes up your entire screen.
