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

Some

Tips

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
