without
breaks. But think back to those times when you tried to do a task
for an extended period of time. In all likelihood, you were energized at
first, then you reached a point when your concentration dropped off.
Finally, you probably felt the urge to do anything
besides your current
task.
The Pomodoro Technique prevents these distractions because it keeps
your mind fresh and focused. With the scheduled breaks, you have an
opportunity to take a few minutes off to relax. Even though you’re
working for less time, the quality of the content will be better than what’s
normally created at the tail end of a marathon session.
If you’re interested in the Pomodoro Technique, you might want to
download one of the following programs:
Team Viz
(a program that syncs between your computer and mobile
phone)
Pomodoro Time Management by Rapid Rabbit
(iPhone and iPad
apps)
Pomodoro Timer
(PC users)
Pomodoro
(Mac users)
Pomodoro
(Android users)
When it comes to time blocking, the amount of time you choose really
depends on your personal preference. I like the Pomodoro Technique
because it has a nice symmetry. The 25 minutes on and 5 minutes off
adds up to 30 minutes. You can schedule these 30-minute blocks
throughout the day and use these sprints to complete those challenging
tasks that you would normally procrastinate on.
