Spending Time with Pomodoro

Pomodoro is a technique to do tasks in defined limit of time. It is a technique to manage time and developed by Francesco Cirillo in 1980s. It has 4 basic steps to manage time:

1. Choose a Task.

2. Set a timer for 25 minutes.

3. To eliminate the internet during this period.

4. Take a short break after each Pomodoro and restart the task.

5. Take a longer break after 4 Pomodoro.

These simple steps make your task easier within less time and more productivity.

Today, I came back from clinic. I had to complete my Amal projects but I was having some guest at my home to celebrate new year 2021. Here the panic monster arrives, many thoughts coming in my mind that I cannot complete my tasks. So I set a Pomodoro Timer of 25 minutes and started my pending last three sections of Online Course 2 about Superhero Resume. After completing Online Course 2, I took a short break for 5 minutes and spend some time with my cousins. After the break, I started another pending course on Coursera and attended classes. Procrastination monkey was distracting me that the guests are here but I remained focused and determined to do my task.

After 2 to 3 alarms and one pomodoro cycle, I successfully completed my task and feels relaxed. Then I have ample time to spend with the guests. Such an ecstatic moment when you see 100% complete.

At last, I ordered some chocolate cupcakes and donuts as treat for me and to my cousins for not giving them plentiful time.

You will never ‘find’ time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. — Charles Buxton

This technique is very useful to do daily routine tasks to manage your precious time, having relaxation and satisfaction. After experiencing this technique, I made a new year resolution to use this technique in my daily routine tasks as special addition in my life.
