I first learned about the Pomodoro technique from Maren Kate and have loved it ever since. If you are not familiar with the technique it goes a little something like this:
Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on one thing.
When the timer goes off, set the timer for 5 minutes and take a break. This is one Pomodoro
Repeat until your heart is fulfilled
To avoid have a physical timer I use this app at work and this app on my Mac.
One of the new ways I’ve strategically started using this technique is to make a goal of doing two Pomodoros every morning before I go to work. If though this is only about an hour of work, I find that something magical happens when I press the start button to begin a Pomodoro. I develop instant laser-focus and procrastination instantly fades.
