Why: Eliminate distractions and keep focus
How: Challenge yourself to stay on a unique topic for 25 minutes
What: When you have a huge work of job to be done, cut it into small pieces and give yourself 25 minutes to deliver first piece. Then take a 5 min break and repeat it again. Repeat it 4 times and then give you a longer break to refresh your brain.
You can use a simple countdown on your mobile or an online one.
I usually notify my near colleagues that I am in a “pomodoro sprint” so they are not surprise by my quick “No” when they ask for help. This other online Pomodoro allows you to share your timer to your team.
Why not trying it?
