What is pomodoro technique?

25 minutes of concentration time and 5 minutes of rest time constitute a complete tomato clock cycle. Once the cycle timer is started, you will devote yourself to the current thing and stop working as soon as you know that the alarm clock is ringing.

Take short time as the goal, and increase the satisfaction of work completion. Every time you finish the process of concentration, you will have a five-minute break. The rest time for four consecutive tomato clocks is 15 minutes.

Second, plan your own tomato time.

Even without any software and network support, we can finish the work. Just prepare three pieces of paper and a pen.

These three pieces of paper are divided into this week's to-do list, today's to-do list and execution data record.

Pay attention to the priority of things in today's to-do list, finish three important things first, and then deal with some trivial things. Arrange the tomato clock-in time of each item in advance, and also pay attention to the reserved time to prevent the collective task from failing because of the delay of one thing.

Third, the implementation of the tomato clock.

The realization of tomato clock has five key points:

plan

carry out

Find; to find out

record

Optimize

Usually, we will review before going to bed at the end of the day, and check or cross out the completed items against the to-do list. In the meantime, I will plan tomorrow's action. If I still have energy, I might as well plan a specific tomato clock, but I usually do this step in the morning because my mind is clearer then.

With regard to the five key points in implementation, there are several points to be noted:

1, when planning, all tomato time is estimated. Many people pursue perfection excessively when making plans. Not only are there many things listed, but time is also tight. But people are not machines, and there is no way to do things strictly according to the timetable, which eventually leads to the failure of the task.

In fact, we should break up at the beginning of the plan, and the unimportant things that can be combined should be listed in a tomato clock. At the same time, after each task is completed, a period of "cache" should be reserved to prevent unexpected situations or delays in some things.

2. We must focus on implementation. Once this sense of ceremony is broken, the meaning of the tomato clock will be lost. Simply put, when the alarm goes off, concentrate immediately. When the alarm clock rings again, stop working and have a rest immediately.

This is a complete process of concentration. Of course, if you are familiar with the use of tools, you can make adjustments according to your own requirements. For example, take a break of 8 minutes every 30 minutes, or take a break every 45 minutes 15 minutes.

The only thing to note is, don't interrupt in the focus time unit! ! !

3. If we are forced to interrupt during the execution, such as an impromptu meeting, we can record our current thoughts, where to do it and so on in our notebooks. It only takes three minutes to record the key points, but the time for us to re-enter the state will be greatly reduced.

This process is tracking.

The concentration time of Pomodoro technique does not need to be particularly long, just 25 minutes, but it is of great benefit to the training of concentration. For professionals, 25 minutes of concentration is not too difficult, and because of its simplicity and convenience, it is also a magic weapon to improve efficiency, which is highly praised by professionals who hate it.
