Eat that Frog with Pomodoro

Pomodoro technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.

The technique uses a timer to break down the work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

The steps of pomodoro technique are;

  1. Identify your task of the day
  2. Set a timer for 25 minutes
  3. Work for the duration of the timer
  4. Take a five minute break
  5. After every fourth break, take a longer break of 15–30 minutes.

First I decide the task to do, and what I decide?

I decide to complete section 3 from course#2(Project work #2, assigned by amal amcademy).

I set the alarm to 25 minutes. Did work until the timer rings. It does not pop any distraction in my mind and immediately I get back to my task. Additionally, I put a star on a notebook. But the productivity rate increases because that alarm of 25 minutes force me to do the task with full focus. Then I take a short break of 5 minutes in which I drink water and eat some cup cake.

I did the same thing 3 times more and no distraction comes to my mind, having four stars on paper.

After I have finished playing with the pomodoro I write a blog about my experience.
