Eating the frog means kicking off the habit of procrastination and eating the frog helps you complete your task on time.

Pomodoro Technique:

Pomodoro Technique is basically a time management technique specially designed for procrastinators. Francesco Cirillo was the founder of the Pomodoro Technique. In the late 1980s, he developed this technique. Pomodoro means tomato in Italian.

You have to give yourself a task, basically, in this technique. You set a timer for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, you give yourself a reward of 5 minutes. It could be 5 minutes of internet surfing, a cup of tea or coffee, candy of any kind. Then you’ll repeat this process four times. After your 4th turn, give yourself a 15–20 minute break. After a break, you will go back to your task until you complete your task.

This technique has been really worked out. I used this technique for my work.

My Experience:

I have assigned to myself the task of collecting all the data related to my content writing theme. I set the timer for 25 minutes. I had to face a lot of interruptions like WhatsApp messages, Instagram notifications, and calling my mother for domestic chores. But I put myself in full focus. Five minutes later, I rewarded myself with chocolate and five minutes on WhatsApp. I’ve felt a lot of change in my work. I did my job with full productivity and focus. I used to finish this work in 2 hours, but after applying this technique, I finished my research in just 50 minutes. Wow! Wow! Wow! I’ve got some amazing results.

Results:

It helped me a lot to obtain more results from my work. It helped me to do my work in a very short time.

Do I use it daily or not?

Of course, I will use this technique regularly in my work. It’s helped me a lot. I am the biggest procrastinator, and it’s going to help me overcome procrastination. A panic monster arrives in my mind during this technique. I kept thinking, I had to finish the maximum work before the timer rings, and I did it.💁‍♀️

Thank you, Amal😊
