Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro
In this blog I’ll share my experience related to the completion of a task using Pomodoro technique. The Pomodoro technique is used to increase the productivity of person.
Experiment / Task :
“Preparing presentation for tomorrow’s lab session”
I have to make a presentation for next day lab session. I started working on it at 7:08 PM. I set an alarm on my phone at 7:33 PM. At this time the alarm ringed and I stopped working on the presentation. Took a rest of 2–3 minutes and again started preparing that presentation. During the first 25 minutes I did not face any distraction. Again I set alarm to ring at 8:03 PM. I did the same when the alarm popped. I was marking ticks on a page at each alarm ring. Now, I have completed half of my work. During the second half I found some WhatsApp messages but I did not reply to them and focused on presentation. After taking a rest of 3 minutes I set the alarm to 8:31 PM. Finally, I was able to complete my presentation after fourth interval. After this I took a rest of about 20 minutes and started the next activity.
In the beginning it was difficult for me to stick to the time but after first interval I used to it. This technique helped me to use a more organized approach towards my task completion.
In the past I usually got exhausted after doing a little work and found myself happy in useless activities. This technique increased my productivity and abled me to complete my task in less time.
I would really like to use this technique in my future works :)
