Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro
Use Pomofocus to cope with Procrastination
What is Pomodoro?
The Pomodoro Technique is created by Francesco Cirillo for a more productive way to work and study. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a Pomodoro, from the Italian word for ‘tomato’, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.
How Pomodot Works?
In the Pomodoro technique, we have 5 steps:-
i- Choose a task to perform.
ii- Set the timer to 25 minutes.
iii- Work on the task until the timer rings.
iv- Mark your task as complete.
v- Take a 5-minute break and then repeat 1–4 after 4 cycles take 14–30 minute break.
My Experience of Pomodoro
I always delayed my task until the panic master made his entry as Tim Urban said in his video, monkey always swirling the wheel in my mind too but when I got to know about the Pomodoro technique in Amal Fellowship and I applied its tactics and it’s quite productive for me.
I choose the task to complete 4 sections of my course then I set the alarm for 25 minutes and started the course and it was a fantastic experience as I focused on my course whereas without a timer my attention was mostly diverted towards social media where I wasted my time scrolling Facebook or Instagram feed aimlessly and replying on Whatsaap which definitely not important than my task.
Then after the timer rung, I took a short break of 5 minutes and then again repeat the process 3 times until I completed the task.
I’ll practice the Pomodoro technique regularly and I’ll suggest this in my circle so that they can also get benefit from this amazing technique.
