Try This Time Management Tool: Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique simplifies time and task management with a single, simple tool: a timer.
Follow these steps to maximize your work sessions with the Pomodoro Technique:
Choose your timer. The Pomodoro Technique is based on the tomato-shaped kitchen timer, but any timer will do.
Track your sessions
o Use a sticky note, notepad, scratch paper, or your computer
o Use check boxes or scratch marks to track each session you complete
3. Set your timer for 25 minutes
o While the timer is ticking, work without distractions
4. When the timer goes off, stop and take a break. Your break should last at least 5 minutes, but should be kept short.
5. After completing 4 successful Pomodoro sessions, take a longer break
o Now is a good time for a 30-minute break, a snack, or even a short nap to recharge
6. Repeat with sets of 4 sessions until your project or work-day is done
