.NBCNewsBETTER: With the Pomodoro Technique, you pick a task, set a timer for 25 minutes to work on that one thing, take a 5-minute break when the timer rings and repeat.
Now I break my work into 25-minute segments where I work on only one publication, or one other area . Using the app, I set the timer for the task in question, and work furiously until the alarm. Instead of dragging out the work all day, I try to see how few sessions I can complete the work in. Having a finite end time is one part of the marvel this has been for me.
But it all boils down to intentionality, Eusebio said. “A lot of us lead our lives unintentionally … we just see what's next,” he said. When what's next is answering that email or text or checking your Instagram notifications , no wonder we're always busy but never productive. “The reason you are able to accomplish more is because now you're intentional. With Pomodoro you have harnessed control over your time.
As I spend a few more weeks using the technique and app it will also reveal some findings. I upgraded to premium , which lets me see reports breaking down how much time I spend on various projects; assignments for NBC News, for example, account for about a quarter of my working hours. This reporting will help me determine how worthwhile projects are, at least financially.
It's not always possible to use Pomodoro — some days are simply too hectic with too many competing demands, though ironically those are the days it would be most beneficial. But on the days I can commit, I'm most calm, most productive and happiest at the end of the day. When I'm just not feeling it, I can at least make myself do just one Pomodoro. Often that success encourages me to do another one, and it keeps going .
