( Time management methods by Francesco Cirillio-1980s)

The technique has a highly effective psychological trick. To set a deadline before starting a task made you anxious and forced you to reframe your fear.It will enhance productivity and will boost the energy of your mind and after this technique, you felt that your mind works even better than before.

As Mr. Cirillo writes;

“Time passes, slips away, moves toward the future. If we try to measure ourselves against the passage of time, we feel inadequate, oppressed, enslaved and defeated more and more with every second that goes by. We lose our elan vitally, the life force that enables us to accomplish things.”

It was not too much difficult for me as I already managed my time by challenging myself a finishing line but to complete my task within the minimal commitment was to build my strong commitment. Whenever I feel the pull of distractions, I remind myself that I am committed only for 25 min, so it is easier to just keep going than to give in.

“Time is a greedy player who wins without cheating, every round,” wrote Baudelaire in his poem “L’Horloge” (The Clock).

It will help me to accomplish more and I will apply this technique in my everyday work task also by dividing them into sub-task. It will improve my work as well as time management skills.
