The Pomodoro Technique

A method for controlling your time on the job that I think everyone should use is the Pomodoro Technique.

Creator and author of the book the Pomodoro Technique Francesco Cirillo originally used a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato. Pomodoro is Italian for tomato.

I wrote about this before: You set a kitchen timer for 25 minutes. Use the block of time for a section of a work project. When the timer goes off set it for a five-minute break period. In the five minutes do nothing related to the work project.

Schedule 3 to 5 Pomodoros in the morning. Take lunch. Continue with 3 to 5 Pomodoros in the afternoon.
