Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro
Aug 28, 2017 · 2 min read

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros.

Underlying principles
There are six steps in the technique:
- Decide on the task to be done.
- Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).[1]
- Work on the task until the timer rings.
- After the timer rings put a checkmark on a piece of paper.[5]
- If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes), then go to step 2.
- After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

Obstacles
At first it was difficult to just focus on one thing as one has a lot of things coming up in the mind but gradually main focus helped me a lot in not getting distracted. I switched off my phone and sat alone in a room so i can’t get distracted et all.
Helpful
It was really helpful for me as i completed my work even before the targeted time. This happened because i was so focused on my work and my mind was working with 1000kmh speed while understanding the concepts.
Future plans
I will follow this really helpful technique in future. As with the help of Pomodoro i would be able to work effectively and efficiently.
