“Eat that frog with Pomodoro”. What does it mean and what is a Pomodoro? So, let’s read and understand what is a Pomodoro.

The Pomodoro technique is developed by Francesco Cirillo. It is a time management technique. The idea behind this technique is to increase the productivity of a task in a limited time and understanding that we have a limited time to do anything and we should not waste out time getting distracted by time wasters.

Following are the steps to follow this technique;

1.Pick one task.

2.Avoid all the distractions. (Mobile notifications etc.)

3.Set a timer of 25 minutes and work on the task.

4.Stay focused on the task during these 25 minutes.

5.Once the timer rings, take a break of 4 to 5 minutes and relax.

6.Repeat the process four times and after that relax for 15 minutes and start again.

I also followed the technique while I was doing my online course of Amal Academy. I found it very useful to complete the tasks with more productivity in lesser time. The distractions I faced were;

1.What’s going on outside?

2.Check WhatsApp. Maybe any one texted me.

3.Mother distracted me.

4.I faced these distractions but I avoid that and focused on my task.

Key Takeaways:

I learned how to manage time, increase productivity and to remain focused towards your work. Indeed, it is a very useful technique and I find it very interesting. I will follow this technique to be more effective and efficient at my work.

Similarly I will destroy my procrastination to be more effective.
