FINISH MORE WORK IN 4 HOURS

 

Use this simple productivity method.

The pomodoro technique:

1. Pick a task

This crucial step is often overlooked.

If you don't pick a task, you'll:

• Check your emails
• Hop between different tasks
• Put off the one with the most resistance

Start with 1 task to get focused and build momentum.

2. Start the timer

Set the timer for 25 minutes.

This is the optimal time to stay 100% focused.

• Start your timer
• Work on your 1 task
• Don't stop until the timer goes off

When you're done, take a quick break.

3. Short break

Take a quick 5 minutes break.

Avoid energy draining or attention stealing tasks like:

• Scrolling Instagram
• Intense exercise
• Heavy eating

Instead take a restorative break, like drinking water, getting some sun, or eating a small snack.

4. Do another one

Set another timer.

Do the exact same thing as before.

• 1 task
• 25 mins 100% focus
• 5 mins restorative break

Keep doing this until you reach 4 consecutive pomodoros.

5. Rinse and repeat

After 4 consecutive pomodoros, give yourself a longer break.

Make this one last 30 minutes.

Take a break that revitalization your energy.

When you're well rested, repeat.

To summarise the 5 steps:

1. Pick a task
2. Short timer
3. Short break
4. Do another one
5. Rinse and repeat
