Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro

Pomodoro is Italian word which means “Tomato”. Pomodoro is basically something that seems like a tomato and it is a timer which standardly work at 25 minutes of timer. So this implies the scenario that setting up 25 minutes exercise to do a particular thing. Pomodoro technique is basically utilized to practice time management and multi-tasking. Following are the key steps of Pomodoro technique:

• Choose the task.
• Start the timer.
• Start working for the task.
• When you get distracted, note down that distraction and keep on working the task.
• When the timer is over, stop doing your work and mark a star on notebook.
• Take 3–5 minutes break.
• Start from the initial step and keep on repeating the cycle until or unless you get 4 stars on notebook.
• Take 15–20 minutes break.
• Now complete all the task.

By repeating the above technique you’ll be able to get along the time following traits and lags if you have any:

• Time management
• Work under pressure
• Multitasking ability

I choose myself different tasks and to complete them in a standard time. Following are my cases:

• Converting notebook data to digital notes.
• Showpiece dusting and flowers washing.
• Ornaments separation of Tripod stand and cleaning it.
• Gathering, Arranging & Organizing Academic Documents.

Case 1: Converting notebook data to digital notes

I have been using windows application sticky notes to note down my online course topics but while starting a new course I planned to write them in notebook because it was quite irritating. But to do the pomodoro act I got the Idea of again doing it but in reverse manner so I had to again do the hard part:

• I started writing in Google Keep with the same label color as I used the ball point of different color which resulted in a great way of organizing the stuff while accessing it anywhere.

Case 2: Showpiece dusting and flowers washing

• I took the Flower decoration piece which was full of dust.
• I washed it with water thoroughly.
• I made it dry and filled it with the artificial flower which I just washed to insert them in the decoration piece.
• Result is shown above.

Case 3: Ornaments separation of Tripod stand and cleaning it

• I took my Tripod stand which was full of dust.
• I separated each component of the tripod stand.
• I used brush, water, and cloth to clean it to the depth.
• I again joined all the components into a single Tripod stand.
• Result is shown above.

Case 4: Gathering, Arranging & Organizing Academic Documents

• First of all I gathered all of my notes which were placed randomly.
• I took each of them and combined the single subject documents into one bundle.
• Now I got all the subjects separately.
• To recognize each subject I used sticky paper to label it.
• I compiled 3 subjects into one file and labeling the file with subjected subjects as well.
• Then I arranged all the file as shown above in the picture.

Personal Review:

• The completion of tasks using the Pomodoro technique resulted quite difficult for me as the distraction had been such a great for me that I couldn’t initially able to do this at first. Later on, I decided to pull it off and then step by step did each thing. Quite a struggle it was but that is okay, now I understood how to implement properly and after the first case I was able to manage time in a better way in the next task.
• It really helped me accomplishing the tasks in better way because I compiled up all the same categorical steps into a single using approaching to the final result then started the next same kind of things then amalgamated everything into a single output which really didn’t exhausted me.
• Surely, I’ll try to execute my tasks daily using this technique to carry out the conclusion with ease and increase the productivity in myself as well.
