My task was to complete an assignment which according to me should take about one hour. So I set the pomodoro timer of 25 minutes and started working, it was not that difficult for me as I do not use facebook that much so there were not many distractions from social media but I had a problem that I go on youtube after like every 15 minutes so after 15 minutes I unintentionally opened youtube but then I remembered that I am doing an activity so I immediately closed the app and resumed my work.

After the first bell rang, that is after 25 minutes first thing I did was, I went on the youtube and enjoyed my favorite song these days and that reward was amazing. After my short break I again set up an alarm for 25 minutes and started working and to my disbelief, I just took another 20 minutes to complete my assignment and that means I completed 60 minutes task in just 50 minutes (25+5+20) which was really very amazing. It saved about 15% of my time which means if I had to do a 6 six hour project, I will complete it in roughly 5 hours by applying pomodoro so I guess I am definitely using it in future. I will be trying a 40 minute timer next time to increase my self-control.
