The principle of the Pomodoro Technique comes from the Deming Circle Theory.

Deming cycle theory: PDCA cycle, also called quality cycle, is a common model in management. PDCA, P stands for plan, making plans, D stands for do, implements actions, C stands for check, checks results, and A It's Adjust, adjustment and improvement. That is to say, we continuously formulate plans, implement plans, provide feedback and inspections, improve and improve, and then formulate new and improved plans. This is a process of continuous improvement and self-evolution.

Preliminary preparation

One or two planning sheets: one to-do list sheet and the other a tomato planting worksheet. Write down all the tasks that come to mind on your to-do list to clear your mind. The tomato planting worksheet is specifically designed to list the tasks to be completed today.

2. Two differences from the previous work schedule:

1. In the past, the work schedule listed the tasks to be completed, while the Pomodoro Technique listed the tasks to be completed. They are two task lists;

2. In the past, the work plan was based on the completion of each task, while the Pomodoro Worksheet was based on the completion of the Pomodoro.

3. There are two benefits of using the Pomodoro timer as a standard: first, breaking down big tasks into Pomodoro timers, effectively resolving the sense of oppression brought by big tasks and alleviating procrastination; second, using a standard timer Pomodoro timing can establish a "time concept" of how long it takes to complete a task, thereby effectively providing feedback on work efficiency.
