When you’re in the middle of a Pomodoro, I don’t want you to go down the rabbit hole with that thought but I don’t want you to forget it either. Sometimes when you’re being really focused, you’ll have an amazing idea or question or thought. I like to put on noise canceling headphones, play some focused music, put my phone on silent, turn off all notifications, and make sure that the only tabs or applications I have open on my computer are the ones I need to do the work. In order to get the most out of each Pomodoro, you have to cut out distractions and stay focused. I still use and love the Productivity Planner, especially on busy days! Pomodoro Technique Tips: Cut out distractions. With inspirational quotes at the top, a space for notes, and a productivity score, the Productivity Planner is the perfect planner if you’re looking to use Pomodoros to increase your productivity. It has you write down your most important tasks for the day, estimate how many Pomodoros you think it’ll take, and then provides a place to track how many it actually takes and compare the difference.
The Productivity Planner is built around the Pomodoro Technique.
That’s why I started using the Productivity Planner to help me plan my day and track my Pomodoros. When I started using the Pomodoro Technique, I needed a way to easily see how long I thought something would take and how long it actually ended up taking. Say goodbye to the really long to do list! When you know how many Pomodoros you have available in one day and start assigning tasks, you can also see when you’ve overcommitted for one day.
Or maybe you need 6 Pomodoros to write the blog post.Įither way, you’re starting to learn how long things actually take you to complete. Instead of just spending “all day” on a blog post, if you learn that it only takes you 2 to write a quick rough draft, you can plan better next time. That is part of the learning process when you start using the Pomodoro Technique. It’s okay if you don’t know how long something will take you at first. So If I had 14 Pomodoros for the day, and 4 are being used towards a blog post, I have 10 left. Writing a blog post, for example, may take 4 Pomodoros. If I have 14 Pomodoros for one day, then I can select a task for each of those Pomodoros. That gives me a really good look at how much time I have available. If I do 4 Pomodoros and then take a 30 minute break, I can see how many Pomodoros I can work through during one day. I like to look at my work day and break it down into Pomodoros. I’ve found that the Pomodoro Technique is the most impactful when you plan out your Pomodoros in advance. The breaks will also help you to give your mind and body a rest and feel good for the next Pomodoro. The Pomodoro Technique is based around the idea that if we focus without distractions on one task for 25 minutes that we’ll get things done faster. The Pomodoro Technique is a productivity and time management strategy where you work for 25 minutes straight and then take a 5 minute break.Įach 25 minute work session is one Pomodoro.Īfter you’ve done 4 Pomodoros, it is recommended that you take a longer 15-30 minute break.
