“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.

Procrastinators and non-procrastinators are known to technique Pomodoro. Procrastinators know this technique as they want to get rid of procrastination, delaying of works, dawdling and non-procrastinators known it because they somehow follow this technique. Procrastination is actually avoidance of doing task and do it near the deadline and waste rest of the time. Procrastinators trouble persuading their self to do the things they should do or would like to do but they are not meaningful and in other words they are distractions.

“While we waste our time hesitating and postponing, life is slipping away.”

Procrastination example

It is a barrier between your goals and you. Procrastinators regret latter what they have done. The only thing is to do time management you can do by many technique famous one is Pomodoro. Pomodoro is time management technique by Francesco Cirillo. So, the topic describes to do tasks whether they are difficult or not in given time whether given time limit is short or not.

The first task I did by using Pomodoro technique is to do Amal second Project work as I was much distracted in doing project work one by using social media websites during my study hours so i decided to place my mobile away from me and set timer according to Pomodoro technique of 25 minutes and I am surprised to see that i have written my blog in 20 minutes.

The next task I did of cleaning my room I set time of 25 minutes and clean my room and even arrange my almirah in this time. I face difficulty in doing this activity as mobile notify me of messages and whatsapp chat my friends were sending at that time.

After cleaning my room i take a look on messages and enjoy social media and the next task is preparation of mid term. I learn half of the chapter in 25 minutes while my goal is to complete full chapter but i wasn’t dis-hearted as may be i have high expectation.

Lesson I learn from Pomodoro technique is focus only your main goal then other things you can do it after achieving your goal and always remember:

“You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again”.
