This Simple Productivity Tip Will Transform Your Work Day (The Secret Of The Pomodoro)
Do you struggle with procrastination? Have trouble maintaining focus? Check your emails every five minutes? The Pomodoro Technique might just be right for you!
Instant productivity: The Pomodoro Technique
This simple productivity method works by dicing up your workday into 25-minute chunks of totally focused work called pomodoros, separated by five-minute breaks. The idea is that, while you may struggle to focus for long periods, a measly 25 minutes is almost always doable, and the mandatory five-minute breaks ensure you’re refreshed enough to tackle to next pomodoro. The end result is that you get much more done during your workday.
So what are you waiting for? Pick a task, set a timer for 25 minutes and give it a go!
How do you deal with interruptions at work? That’s another question answered by The Pomodoro Technique, by Francesco Cirillo.
