How Can a Tomato Help You Stop Procrastinating?

DESCRIPTION

General description'Pomodoro' is Italian for 'tomato'. It's also the name of a time management technique developed by Francesco Cirillo, who named it after his tomato-shaped kitchen timer. Cirillo realised that to work effectively, we can't work indefinitely. And if we stop occasionally and give our brains time to process a task and divide tasks into more digestible chunks, we can accomplish more. The pomodoro technique uses a timer, which is set for a 25-minute slot, or 'Pomodoro'. You simply select a task, set the timer and dedicate yourself to that task until the timer rings. Then have a five minute break before setting the timer for another Pomodoro and continuing your work. After four Pomodoro you can take a longer break. If you're struggling with procrastination it's a great way to eliminate distractions and you might find that something you thought would take hours or even days can be finished in just a few dedicated Pomodoro.CreatorAna LoboDate created2014ContributorMarketing and CommunicationsPeople depictedAna LoboLanguageEnglishIs or was included inKnow More in 60 Seconds Video Series
