Six principles:
1) A 25-minute tomato time is inseparable, and there is no tomato time for half or one and a half.
In other words, in your understanding of tomato working hours, you should understand these 25 minutes of work as a whole piece of time, which cannot be divided by any reason or excuse. You don't work for five 5 minutes, not 10 minutes+15 minutes, but a full 25 minutes.
2) Don't do anything unrelated to the task for 25 minutes.
If you really want to spend these 25 minutes reading, then you can only read books, and you can't turn on your mobile phone occasionally and play with other things while running.
3) Never use pomodoro technique after work. For example, it takes 3 tomato hours for running and 5 tomato hours for eating.
Pomodoro technique can and can only be used at work. On the one hand, pomodoro technique is often not suitable for daily life full of uncertainty; On the other hand, using pomodoro technique in non-workplace will destroy the sense of ceremony and standardization of this work method in your mind.
4) Don't compare your tomato data with other people's tomato data.
When you compare your tomato data with others, it means that your initial motivation to use pomodoro technique has been affected.
This influence will make you unable to concentrate on your work.
5) The number of tomatoes does not determine the ultimate success or failure of the task.
The purpose of working in this way is not to enable you to complete the task, but only to adopt such a more efficient way of working.
Don't associate the results of your work with the use of pomodoro technique. This working method can only optimize your working process.
6) You need to have a schedule that suits you.
Don't blindly use the tomato clock to go to work. If you don't have enough energy, don't be forced. Some time may always be interrupted by trivial matters. There's no need to use a tomato clock. Of course, staying up late is not a known timetable.
