“The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses the time to break down the work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.” It will help you to increase your productivity and helps you to deal with the problem of procrastination and assist in getting work done on time and Eating the frog means just do it, otherwise, the frog will eat you meaning that you’ll end up procrastinating it the whole day.

In this technique;

  1. Select task
  2. Set the Pomodoro timer to 25 minutes
  3. Work on the task until the timer rings.
  4. Take a short break (5min) and then repeat
  5. After fouth break take 20 minutes long break

MY EXPERIENCE

Somehow I use this process in the past but until now I do not know this is a proper technique that helps to boost your productivity but the major problem with me while using this technique is that sometimes I gave my self to many rewards means only doing work for 20 to 30 minutes I take 3 to 3 hours to break about but now I am fully aware of this technique and know-how this work so now I try not to repeat past mistakes and try to implement this technique on my self to make my time more productive.

So I implied this technique during online course time and during when I try to finish my coding. First of all, silent my mobile as the mobile phone is the biggest direction and set a timer of 25 minutes and then start to complete my course first 5 to 10 minutes is good and I focused completely but ass time passes my focus from the course slightly divert and about 1,2 minutes I start daydreaming then I try to concentrate again and complete my 25 minutes period then I take 5 minutes break and as usual, it extended up to 15 minutes and then I repeat this procedure again But this time I remain more focus and try to cover more content than before. I repeat this process 3 times and eventually, my productivity increase every time I found this technique very beneficial. It helps me to concentrate better and also save me time. I will try to use this in the future also so that I can accomplish more in lesser time. I practice this technique in other works as well so I became an expert in this.
