Recently, the tomato clock is very popular, and I heard it shared by teacher Beichen not long ago. At that time, it was understood that people could concentrate on doing one thing for about 25 minutes, so they could finish one thing at a time in 25 minutes. For every 25 minutes of work, they will take a 5-minute break. This cycle can spur yourself not to waste time and improve your concentration.

In the process of using, sometimes I will finish a job 25 minutes ago, and then I will start the next job, because after all, these 25 minutes have not yet arrived. Also encountered some problems. For example, when I was in the company, I would interrupt the tomato clock because of a colleague's sudden question, and then I didn't know whether to start from the beginning or continue. Also, after finishing a 25-minute work, it is usually used to make phone calls during a 5-minute break.

Today, after listening to teacher Xiang Li's sharing and carefully reading "pomodoro technique Diagram-A Simple Method of Time Management", I found that the original tomato clock was not used correctly before. 、

Generally, we think of using tomato clock to improve the problem of inefficiency and improve concentration.

Then what caused our inefficiency? When we work, we often think about the past and the future, but we don't think too much about the present. Our minds and thoughts wander between the past and the future, vacillating, uncertain and difficult to draw conclusions, so procrastination is extremely inefficient.

On the other hand, if we do things without pressure, we are too bored to do it, and our work and life are also boring. For example, if I take an exam, I can easily get 100. For me, this thing is really boring and can't lift my interest and appetite. If I have been engaged in such activities, I will definitely become more and more lazy and less passionate. It seems that the world is gray and gloomy.

But what about the other extreme? The pressure is too great to achieve. What effect will it be? Let's talk about the exam. I studied very hard, but I got 40 points every time. After coming here several times in a row, I lost interest in this school and didn't want to continue at all. As long as I pick up these books in the future, I will subconsciously remind myself that I study very poorly, and I can only get 40 points no matter how hard I try. If you don't learn well, you might as well not waste your time on it. Over time, this course will be abandoned.

Let me give you an example. The pressure is just right. The content of this study is moderate, neither too simple nor too difficult. I can get 70-80 points if I eat a little snack. At this time, my learning motivation is very sufficient, because I know that I can do better in the exam as long as I work hard a little. If I don't want to pay more, I will pay more at this level and get a good result. So I will always be extraordinary in this class.

Therefore, when we use the tomato clock, we are also creating a slightly higher pressure on ourselves, dividing the goal into different steps and realizing it step by step, from simple to difficult, from shallow to deep, so that we always want to reach the plum in front of us and keep moving forward. It has been developing with great interest.

Therefore, the tomato clock is a practice method, which should be practiced in a time period that we can fully grasp. After a period of practice, our concentration will be improved and our ability to use the tomato clock will be improved.

Therefore, in daily life, there are 2-3 tomato clocks every day, which can bring you a sense of excitement and is an important regulator in life.

How to use tomato clock correctly;

1) Take 3 minutes to list the things you must do now and the best things to do.

2) Prepare 1 pen, 3 pieces of paper, and a kitchen timer (of course, you can also use your mobile phone as a timer or an hourglass, generally 25 minutes is better).

3) Start action
