Pomodoro is a famous technique used to deal with procrastination and to develop a habit of getting things done on time by using time-management strategy.Procrastination is our big hindrance towards success and it inhibits us from working with full potential and it became our habit to start work right before deadline.

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

This quote is absolutely right as time do not wait for you ever and when it passed it never comes back and then only regret becomes your destiny.So be wise and utilize your time in a proper way to be successful in your life.

As I also have a habit of procrastination so I planned to use this technique in order to help myself in starting work on time.I take following steps to practice this technique:

1.Decided the task to be done: I decided to do my project work about In-person drop while using this technique

2.Set the promodoro timer: I set an alarm of 25 minutes in my mobile that is suggested time for this techniue

3. Remove distractions: I removed all the distraction in my surroundings and turned off my wifi so that I can work on my project effectively without any hindrance

4: Start working on the task: I immediately started working on project with full concentration untill alarm bell rang

5:Take break and set an another pomodoro: I took break of 4 minutes then I set another pomodoro and started working in the same way. I again repeated these steps for 3rd time as well.

Experiance

1st pomodoro: Here I brainstormed and it helped me to renew all information in my mind about my experience regarding in-person drop

2nd pomodoro: Here I gave shape to my in-persn drop experience by utilizing words and I wrote on medium blog post about that

3rd pomodoro: Here I added pictures in my blog post,published it and shared it with my fellows by giving them link and I also pasted the link to my weekly PW.

It was an oustanding experiance and this technique proved very easy for me to act upon.This technique helped me a lot to work on my task with more concentration and I completed my task effectively in only 75 minutes.If I did’nt use this technique I would take 4–5 hours to complete this task.By now I decided to use this technique regularly as it works for me.I will try to increase the time duration for pomodoro for myself when I will get full command on using this technique with 25 minutes timer.
