So working from home can be a very interesting experience. There are countless distractions and it can pretty hard to get in the headspace to actually do the work
During this time that we are all social distancing and working from home, everything that is happening in the world can make it tough to focus. I just kept finding it hard to even start the work that I was supposed to and ultimately ended up procrastinating for far too long.
So I tried using the classic Pomodoro Technique. Some of you may know this, but its principles of using quick bursts of output and regular intervals were exactly what I needed given the environment that many of us are working in.
My simple process was
- Choose a task
- Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes
- Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings
- When the timer rings, take a short break (5 mins)
- After 4 “Pomodoros”, take a longer break (15-30)
This was so so helpful to me and I think that this indefinite time being spent at home can actually be put to good use now.
