100x Your Productivity With Pomodoro Technique

Juggling between various tasks and feeling burn-out at the end of the day is pretty standard in the hustling era. But doing multiple tasks at the same time puts your health in precariousness.

Our brain is not good at handling multiple tasks in a moment. It's a fact, and doing otherwise is unproductive. Our brain also needs rest, like every other body part. So, handling one task makes us focus and yields good results.

Moreover, working non-stop negatively affects your productivity level too. For that, you need a technique that can help you to be more productive and work efficiently. That technique is Pomodoro Technique.

What is Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro technique is a systematic approach that breaks down your work into 25 minutes chunks with a 5-10 minutes break between each cycle. After completing 4-5 cycles, a 20-30 minutes break is followed. 

Now, you can divide your work into 25 minutes of small chunks followed by a 5 minutes break which gives you the refreshment you need and makes you productive without making a dent in your health.

This technique can be applied to anything to help you focus on your task at hand and simultaneously take breaks which can help you get back to work with a more productive and fresh mind.

How to Use Pomodoro Technique?

Using this technique is easy; you can utilize the old-school method or the smart way; the choice is yours. All you've to do is take a pen, paper, and timer. Set a timer for 25 minutes, and mark a tick on your paper upon completing the cycle. And take a 5-minute break within each cycle.

You can download any Pomodoro technique timer app if you're going for a smartphone. There are tons of apps for pomodoro technique available on both iOS and Android. I've installed Focus Keeper on my android phone. 

 

In conclusion, you can use this technique to learn a new skill or for your office work. You can also do multiple things but only within a cycle, like the first cycle of 25 minutes for checking email and replying. In the next cycle, maybe read something. What you want to do and how you will use this Pomodoro technique is totally in your hands.

You can adjust the cycle time and break timing, but it should follow the core of the Pomodoro technique: breaking the work into small bits followed by small breaks.

Please make the most out of this routine by limiting distractions and using it in your daily routine.
