BTW, what is Pomodoro Technique ? Ive never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteThe Pomodoro Technique is a time management method designed to enhance productivity and focus. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Here’s how it works:
Delete1. Choose a Task: Select a specific task you want to work on.
2. Set a Timer: Set a timer for 25 minutes, which is called one "Pomodoro."
3. Work on the Task: Focus solely on the task until the timer goes off. Avoid distractions during this time.
4. Take a Short Break: Once the timer rings, take a 5-minute break to relax and recharge.
5. Repeat: After four Pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
The technique helps break work into manageable intervals, improving concentration and reducing burnout. It encourages regular breaks, which can enhance overall productivity.
LOVE to see the breakdown of the process
