Finding your Panic Monster 👹
2 min readJun 23, 2022
Learned a new technique called Pomodoro (the Italian word for tomatoes 🍅 ) to make effective use of time ⏰. The ‘eternal procrastinator’ in me ( Watch this TED Talk 👉🏽 https://youtu.be/arj7oStGLkU ) often delays a big task until the deadline is near, I mostly need my ‘ Panic Monster’ to get the job done. Here is a technique that I have been practicing to gather enough focus to get started:
The Pomodoro 🍅 Technique:
- Technique recommends that the human brain remains focused in bursts of 25 mins each and then take a break of 5 mins between each Pomodoro. 4–5 Pomodoro’s in a day would indeed make you a superstar. We all crave that feeling of “getting something done” by the end of the day, don't we?
- Pomodoro is an app that I have started using to practice this technique.
- Remember, this is a template to remain focused, make it work for you. If 60 mins of uninterrupted time work for you, go for it!
