Hello again, venerable Steemians!
When it comes to putting the work in to achieve your goals and dreams, the most important concept is efficiency. Today, we are going to explain another method which could drastically improve the way you deal with your workload.
If an average person sleeps for 7 hours a day and spends another 3 to 4 hours taking care of his or her obligations, then we could argue that people have, at the very least, 10 to 12 hours to spend on their work, passion, and dreams.
But this is never the case, is it? Even if you are not working a full-time job, you find yourself having a really hard time focusing on the things that matter to you or the things that you need to do to advance on the path of achieving the greatness that awaits you. As we have discussed before, a part of this can be attributed to the deceptive mind and its tricks to dissuade us from letting go of our comfort zones.
But if we are being realistic and logical, this entire case doesn’t solely rest upon psychological standpoints. It is an undeniable fact that our body and our mind have a certain amount of energy every day and find it difficult to detach themselves from the habitual surge of energy and productivity that that is a part of their physical identity.
So, what do we do when our body is disappointing us? For one thing, you should slowly start to build up the habitual clock of your body. It is not an overnight work, but years and years of principle and practice. But in this blog post we are going to talk about a different technique for getting things done in a convenient way, even when your body and your mind are giving you endless reasons to not get on with your work.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management tool designed by Francesco Cirillo as a means of getting work done without exhausting our body and our mind. It is also a great method for shutting away distractions that may delay the ongoing work. In this method, you basically divide your work time to 25-minute tasks and do nothing but the work for a straight 25 minutes.
If you are interested in giving this proven method a try, follow the steps as listed below:
Decide on the task that you want to do.
Set a timer to 25 minutes.
Work on the task with dedication and care.
End work when the timer goes off.
Take a short break (5 minutes.)
Continue the task or go onto the next task.
After four pomodoros, take a longer break of 20 minutes.
Pomodoro is the Italian word for tomatoes, and Cirillo named the method after his own timer, which was designed in the shape of a tomato. Implement this method in your journey towards perfect time management. The results of your development will surely prove the miraculous effect.
A BIG HUG!!!!
Wonderful informations there. I feel quite motivated. Time management skills are the key to success.
Great tips, Unquestionably as humans we sometimes work hard and this causes a certain tension that sometimes leads us to stress.
Excellent message @chbartist, I think it has happened to all of us that we have to do something and leave it to the end, then all the tasks are pondered, with this technique we avoid procrastination. In summary, the Pomodoro technique will give you every so often, some minutes to take advantage and do some things that would distract you while you work, but DO NOT DISTRACT. That is the key. We need to alternate the focused and the diffused mind to be efficient.
If you want to try this technique, you can use this simple web application to time your Pomodoros:

Wow, what a powerful message!
Every morning is a blessing. It's an opportunity to correct our mistakes in the past and a privilege to continue the good things we have had started.
The 5-second rules, the Pareto principles, and personal devotion to God will set your day aright.
Hello friend, I think you just copied and pasted my comment on the previous blog post.
The Pomodoros method really works - for the past decade when working with interns and students we have always said '25 minutes max' and the productivity is enormous. No one wants to start a task that they think is going to absorb 'time' and hours they feel such a lack of in any given day. We always called it 'Pomo' for short... thanks for the post!
Love it! This is a new one for me! While I think this is a similar approach I normally take to avoid distractions, I have never tried with the timed breaks in between but will sure given it a try! Thanks for Sharing!

This is the first time I've heard about this technique of dividing the workload. It's interesting that we can learn and adapt some method of easing ourselves with laborious tasks. A systematic way of doing a task is a great thing to help you to be efficient.
Another helpful article this article is in continuation of your previous one . I like it because im going to try this in my real time because I always have time issue I very busy in my office work. I work hard all the day but in the evening when I remember what I had done all the day there is no progress. The results ate not what I want. Now I'm going to try this method and will see how much I improve myself.
Thanks for this strategy.

@chbartist sir!
Problems do not matter to a blissful person. Depression leads to depression towards the person. In a cheerful person, the percentage of diseases is equal to zero. The problem for those who face the problems of laughing is like an easy game.
If really your articles are beneficial in dealing with our work load, then nothing can be better than that. as you said that End work when the timer goes off. Take a short break (5 minutes.) but people do not do this, those people get up only after the completion of their work. i also do that myself. i find it very strange to leave half incomplete work. thanks @chbartist for sharing such as article.
It seems a good technique to have control of tasks. and so one is educated in everything he does to distribute time well on a daily basis.
Wow, wonderful message...must try this one as i always find no time to do anything... thanks for the info
We have to respect time and must manage our every work with time to time...

@chbartist sir!
The most important aspect to design any work out is time division.Today our brain is working like a machine but it is not a machine, so it also needs to be refreshed to get energy .The biggest advantage of working according to the time division is that we neither feel mental fatigue nor feel boredom towards work. After an hour and 40 minutes work, the 20-minute interval is enough to refresh the brain and recover the energy. Thank you for sharing a new idea every day.
Pomodoro's methods are realistic, we should follow it, our future will be very bright, thanks for providing such a valuable methods.
Thanks for this. First, I had battle with procrastination but now, it just seems like the time is never enough. I will put this into practice.
I've heard of this technique but never given it a try. Recently I've been very distracted with a lot of things and that includes Steemit, lol. I think I would give this a try, thanks again.

Nice.
motivate speech thank you for share
Oooookay stretches hand, I’m gonna give this a try because one thing I’ve always struggled with is getting work done and time management.
For example I try to go on steemit for on an hour but in reality I actually get only about 30 mins of work done on steemit.

A strict mental time table would be more effective than a physical time table sometimes as some people have the habit of editing it.When fixed at mind, it can never be edited or erased when the person has the real passion to achieve his/her target!
I tried it myself and found it working. The success behind this technique is very simple. When we keep on doing same task for quite a long period of time, we tend to lose interest. This technique puts a full stop and by switching from one task to another periodically, we can surely complete all the tasks successfully thus avoiding the need for any procrastination.
You have a true heart. Truely speking if someone started feeling like he/she is enough by him/her self then probably half of the world's problem may solved. Nice ! keep doing good work.
