As I am already late for my project work so I decide to take my project work as Pomodoro challenge. As I have no believe on these kind of things. But for the sake of challenge I accept it and I woke up at 11:30 A.M and I take my laptop and start work on my project I take challenge to complete it before the 1:00 P.M. Because after that I have to offer my Jumma prayer.

So, I started it at 12:00 P.M and constantly focused on my project. After every 5- 10 minutes there was a beep on my mobile. But I did not pay any attention it. Because there is a deadline in my mind of 1:00 P.M. I quickly go through the videos, comments, quizzes and other DIY activities. But it was along course so only one video left. I decided to view it after my Jumma prayer.

I offered my prayer and came back to my hostel. I had my breakfast. While having breakfast I decided to watch movie and after that I completely forgot about that video. I finished my movie at almost 6 P.M. After that I did net surfing and other things and here its 1 P.M and I still haven’t watched that clip.

In the end I realized that I can do my work effectively just before the deadline. And I have to do the things first which is more important. Pomodoro is somehow effective but not in my case. I just have to focus on my goal rather than focusing on other stuffs like watching movies during eating food.
