[@meganminnsking]

Have you ever used the Pomodoro Technique before? If not, do one Pomodoro session today and let me know how you liked it!

So funny, I use the Pomadoro Technique and recently made a YT video about it and other tools that help me skyrocket my productivity as well. Its been such an eye-opener to also get a handle on hong long things take to complete using the technique.

[@meganminnsking]

Sirita Wright that’s amazing! I’ll have to go watch your video today to see what all you shared! I think learning how long things take is such a valuable outcome of using the Pomodoro Technique. Thank you for commenting 💕

[@lifepillars4u]

I like it.

[@jenniferbrasile9689]

I am so glad I found this!! I love this video and truly is helpful!

Hi Megan, We use the Pomodoro Technique in my classroom, so the students stay focused on their lessons. We only use the 25-minute timer in class. It has improved concentration, and they are getting better grades. I think I will try it for a day for myself. Thanks for the planner!

[@christiebilbreymedia]

I tried this today and LOVED IT!!!! I usually try to do 50-60 minutes but I saw a huge boost in productivity with 25-minute increments. Thanks for the video!

[@fredchester921]

Wonderful video. Can't wait to try this. It's certainly better than working for 1-1/2 hour stretches straight with no breaks and using coffee as my 'production enhancer' only to end up dead tired after a long day.

[@bevbean]

Yes, you look SO smart ;)

[@telmatx]

I'm distracted at work watching your video! Great tips! Love the planner.

Thanks I will give it a try. I struggle with time management a lot.

Thanks so much for the daily planner download ....I started using it two days ago and it has helped me enormously stay focused .... every morning I have an anchor to keep me grounded and moving forward ....so grateful 💛

It's weird, I've heard about it before but always brushed the Pomodoro Technique off. Mainly because I felt like the time ratio of 25 to 5 wasn't right for me. But I think I'm in a space in my life now where my thoughts around time are changing significantly, so I'm so glad you did a video on it. Since I left my job, I'm such a time waster but after one round, I'm totally seeing the benefits. Think I'm going to really spice up the ratios (like for every Pomodoro I get a stretch session AND a KZbin video break) but even that will be better than what I've been doing lately. 😩Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this. I found your channel through your website while looking for tips on conscious stream journaling!

[@meganminnsking]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@elissabalup7558]

Yes you look smart! Haha thanks for the explanation!

[@mikemaverick358]

This is a great video, thanks. I recently started using this technique and I love it! I use the Focus To-do app. It's fantastic.

[@meganminnsking]

So happy to hear that!

[@mannyponce2230]

Pomodoro means tomato in italian ..maybe the original Technique was 15 min + 5 min = 3 reps / hour?

[@TechWriterToolkit]

I think it's related to the kitchen timer that's shaped like a tomato.

[@mathbytv4858]

That’s how I understand the original technique to be.

[@somnathsarkar1632]

❤️

[@millaezman8984]

doesn't it distract you to think about the time all the time? I find that I lose all my thoughts doing it with the timer...

Question: Are there any Pomodoro Technique KZbin videos on project breakdown for ADHD Inattentive senior retirees? My project is overwhelming. I want to Sort, Keep, Toss, or Donate over 40 yrs’ of paperwork, clothes, & household goods, now in piles, boxes, overstuffed closets, & garage. Example: What are components A, B, C of Paper Sorting that I can use as a roadmap, track my progress in 25 min work sessions, & know where to begin on my next Sorting work session? If anyone can point me in the right direction for this detail, it would be a Godsend. I really want to do it myself & believe I can if I find a method that works for my ADHD Inattentive brain. Thank you! PS-I’ve tried several KZbin paper organization tutorials, but I get distracted by some shiny object & don’t know where to begin when I get back to the paper piles. I’ve hired 2 professional organizers for the paper alone, but they barely scratched the surface. Again, Thank you!

Question, I’m going to try this my question is; when studying do I Study one subject for 25 minutes then take a five-minute break and then study another subject for 25 minutes?

[@lakeisha1728]

It depends. If you haven't finished studying for subject number 1, then continue studying until that subject is complete. If you're finished studying that subject, then move on to the next.
