Work Efficiently: The Pomodoro Technique

-

We are all excellent planners but when it comes to execution we have a lot of flaws. Perhaps you daily promise yourself that you will be at your work/study desk for 3 hours straight but it never seems to happen isn't it. At the end of each day, you regret. This time management trick will help you to focus on your task and do the real work instead of doing random things. In the Pomodoro method, you will work in 25 minutes chunk. After every 25 minutes, you will take a break for 5 minutes. You have to repeat this cycle 4 times. Before each cycle, you have to set a timer for 25 minutes and in these 25 minutes you should turn your phone off and avoid other distractions. In the end, it will look like this.




( 1 session = 25 minutes work + 5 minutes break  )


Session 1 
25 minutes - work 
5 minutes - break
Session 2
25 minutes - work 
5 minutes - break
Session 3
25 minutes - work 
5 minutes - break
Session 4
25 minutes - work 
5 minutes - break 

After the 4th Session, you must take a long break for about 20 minutes. Keep in mind that this long break is important for your mind to not drain out completely. Are you wondering why this method works? According to the recent research, our mind can focus on the single task for about 20 - 25 minutes. Also, another research suggests that we are most concentrated at the beginning and end of the work session. By using Pomodoro technique you are creating more beginnings and endings.

Tips to execute Pomodoro technique

1. Have everything you need before starting the work.

2. have a water bottle with you.

3. Turn off your phone.

4. Remove the random pieces of papers from the desk. Only keep what you need while working. 

5.you can even download the Pomodoro timer application from play store.

A carpenter with years of experience, was ready to retire. He communicated his contractor about his plans to leave the house building business to live a more leisurely retired life with his wife and family. The contractor felt a little upset that his good and experienced carpenter was leaving the job, but he requested the carpenter to build just one more house for him.
