What I’ve Learned!

Main thing I have learned through this activity is about the name of this technique “Pomodoro”. I’m writing it main thing because I had applied this technique many time before, especially for exams preparation and I got amazed when I knew about the name which I already used in the past.

Secondly, I learned about how to stay activated with project assigned and also it tells me the importance of “Kam Kam Kam” and how to deal with procrastinators which are pushing ourselves to our comfort zones.

Finally, I’ve learned about the importance of “1440 minutes per day”. Now, I’m gona apply this technique to upcoming projects. I also want to share the outcome of the project which I described earlier.

Outcome of My Project Work!

Procrastination can be overcome with effective time management skills and strategies.
