THE INSPIRATION CAME FROM THE KITCHEN
THE POMODORO (TOMATO) TECHNIQUE
= 25 Min
USING THE KITCHEN TIMER TO COUNT A FIXED TIME SLOT FOR TASKS
How Pomodoro
Work?
1. List your tasks
You can also prioritize your tasks
2. Work for 25 min
Focus on one task per timeslot,
But a task can take multipe timeslots
3. Take a 5 min break
Do something refreshing after
Each 25 min spent
Drink a coffee
Check / Post a tweet
Have a little chat
Check your Facebook feed
4. Take a 20 min break
After every 4 pomodoro’s,
take a 20 min break
Do a Coursera video
Have a small walk
Read a chapter in a book
View an inspiring TED talk
Any timer will do. Just search for “Pomodoro” in your favorite app store
Stop every thing. When in a “Pomodoro” try to focus only on what your doing.
Enjoy the prize. Each break you take is your prize, make sure to enjoy it fully.
I’ll come back to you. To avoid other people interrupting you, repond politely but firmly.
Close your door. If you are in an office make sure to close your door while in Pomodoro.
Put on a headset. For open office spaces, a headset will give the precetpion of busyness
Unplug. For some creative work, you may need to unplug to relaxe your mind.
Lastly,
Just Remember
FOR THE NITTY GRITTY OF THIS TECHNIQUE, JUST GOOGLE
