Learn about the ultimate time efficiency hack - the pomodoro. This ultimate productivity is a game changer those those urgent & important tasks you don't really want to do. Get them done faster, so you have more time for those important tasks you want to do.
You have tasks you need to do but you do not want to do. It might be something on the computer for work. It might be a manual labor task, such as fixing the lawn mower.
We can find ways to sabotage our own intentions unconsciously with distractions.
A pomodoro is a set period of time (you might start with 25 minutes) where you focus on only one task with no distractions or context switches.
When you are done with the pomodoro, you take a break. The break is important. Go to the bathroom, stretch your legs, get some sun, quickly chat with someone.
The goal is to be able to do more back-to-back pomodoros and have the pomodoros be longer.
Matt will often have a notepad next to him with a pen. If some random idea comes in his mind that he does not want to forget, such as "I need to buy cilantro at the grocery store," he just quickly writes down "cilantro" and then continues on his task.
Chris recommends for those distracted by noises to get foam ear plugs and white noise headphones.
It might seem not fun to buckle down and get the work done, but see how much faster you get the work done and how much more time you have to do other things.
Try this time efficiency hack, this ultimate productivity tool, this effectiveness game changer - the pomodoro.
