Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro

First of all I would like to explain what is Pomodoro Technique:

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. -source: Wikipedia

Implementing Pomodoro Technique:

The First task that I chose to do as a part of this activity is practicing a Lab work from my CCNA course and timer I set was 20 minutes. As I was doing my task and I completed almost half of my Lab work in 7 minutes. That’s when my phone ringed and it was a distraction but I just check out the notification that I received and put my phone away, it almost took 5 seconds max. Finally I was able to complete my task within 15 minutes. Similarly I tried to do other tasks as well and they were completed without any distraction.

Difficult or not?:

The Pomodoro Technique implementation was not difficult and it helped me to be productive. It felt great as I set a timer and did a task and at the end of it I get a treat every time without worrying about any other distractions

What I experienced:

The experience was great while I was using this technique, as I was prepared to complete my task without any distractions. When I started the timer the second time for my task, my mind just burned this information inside it that “I have to complete it without any distraction” and it really worked.

This Technique is helpful and I will make sure that I use this technique for doing all of my tasks. As I already mentioned that using this technique actually created a image inside my head to complete my task without distractions and get a treat. Majority of us only able to complete their task if their is a deadline inside our head and it make us productive and efficient. As Tim Urban in their recent TED talk mentioned the Monkey(who distracts us from doing our task) is afraid of the Monster(deadline) and this way the Monkey loses the control of our brain and our brain come into safe hands. And also deadlines makes us do our work in Smart way and in creative manner.
