Pomodoro is a time management technique deal with procrastination and to develop a habit of getting things done on time which reduces the stress and give us confidence that we have ability to work on time

Procrastination is our big hindrance towards success and it inhibits us from working with full potential and it became our habit to start work right before deadline.

I also have habit of procrastination so I planned to apply this technique on my task by following all steps of pomodoro technique:

  1. I Decided on the task to be done.
  2. I Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
  3. I Worked on my task.
  4. When the timer rang i end my work and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
  5. I Took a short break (3–5 minutes) and then return to step 2 until i put 4 checkmarks on paper.
  6. After 4 checkmarks i took longer break (15–30 minutes), reset timer checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

Experience:

I use this technique first time in my life and it was a wonderful experience for me.By removing all the distractions from my surrounding and turning of my WiFi and notification helped me to complete my 3–4 hours work only in 90 minutes.

  1. Was this experiment difficult for you or not that difficult?

this technique proved very easy for me to act upon. It was not difficult for me i enjoyed a lot and it helped me to renew all information in my mind.

2. Did it help you accomplish more or about the same?

It was very productive for me therefore i will try to apply it in my all future tasks.

3. Do you plan on doing this again regularly, and what will you do to improve the experience?

Yes, I will apply this technique to my tasks for the completion of my work in better way by removing all distractions that are in the surrounding a. I will try again and again it will improve my experience and i can accomplish my work more easily.
