We all tend to procrastinate, put off all the important things to do and procrastinate a lot more again! I am charged as Guilty on this and I’m sure we all are at some points of our life. Once motherhood invited me at her doorstep, it’s been a wild rollercoaster ride of mental turmoil’s, endless chores and emotional cravings. I was never able to set my mind and complete tasks dedicating sufficient time for them. Soon I would immerse myself into the sea of content in Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Tiktok and wouldn’t notice hours flying by when I could actually do Something about it. That’s when I Came across the Pomodoro Technique. I heard it from one of the Podcasts that I listen to on my morning walks and I just had to try it out. I did and now I’m Addicted. I would like to call my myself a Pomodoro Technique Fan. So what is Pomodoro. It Is actually an Italian word for Tomato. Funny I know. So, what’s Tomato got to do with Productivity and focus. Well Pomodoro technique was first developed by Francesco Cirillo in late 1980’s and Cirillo used a Tomato Shaped Timer in his kitchen they say, during his university days. Hence the Tomato. But nonetheless, when we talk about the purpose of this technique, it basically focuses on 25 minutes of time for executing your tasks / works. And after the timer goes off, you have 5 minutes of break. Then another 25 minutes of work and then another 5 minutes of break. After 4 sets of this technique is completed, we can reward ourselves with 25 - 30 minutes of Break time. Trust me on this, YOU WILL GET STUFF DONE. But we need to remind ourselves to stick to this timer rigidly if you want results. This Technique is specifically for people who get distracted fast, who can’t prioritise, who works more than their optimal productivity, who wants to be more aware of their time and where it goes and finally if you love tomatoes. Why Not? So here you go. Try it this week or the next or tomorrow and thank me later!!!!

Cheerios and Happy weekend!!
