Pomodoro technique is a simple and easy time management method, which was founded by Francis Cirillo in 1992. It is more microscopic than GTD(Getting Things Done).
To put it simply, it is to divide the working hours into several time units, each unit contains two parts: 25 minutes of working time and 5 minutes of rest time, and each time unit is called "tomato clock".
To use the tomato clock, we need three pieces of paper for each clock.
Plan. Take out the first piece of paper, record the "work list", and extract the "to-do" items on the second piece of paper.
Tracking. Determine the urgency of the matter, select the work items, start the timer, and start the tomato clock for 25 minutes.
Record. On the third piece of paper, collect and record the use of tomato clock that day.
Handle. From the recorded original data, the application effect of tomato clock was summarized and analyzed, and the application method of tomato clock was optimized.
The tomato clock is inseparable. There is no half tomato clock. Finish the task in the tomato clock and spend the rest of the time "over-learning".
There should be no more than seven tomato clocks for a job, so it is necessary to divide the tasks in advance and allocate the tasks reasonably.
The core of the tomato clock is to do one thing at a time, get rid of all kinds of distractions in 25 minutes and concentrate on the task at hand.
Strictly observe the 25-minute time, stop the work at hand when the alarm clock rings, and prepare the next tomato clock if the work is not finished.
Let go of thinking about work, ignore the use effect of tomato clock, and take full rest in 5 minutes.
Record the interruptions in tomatoes and find out the appropriate ways to deal with them.
The core problem to be solved in time management is to spend less time and bring more value. The purpose of the tomato clock working method is to stay focused for a period of time and concentrate on dealing with things, so as to make the best use of time. If you control time, you control the rhythm of life, on the way forward.
