How many hours does the day have? Surely there are many who think that some less than they should have. Time is money, but we do not always know how to manage it , and that is the big problem.One hour can be given for a lot or not at all, as you take advantage.There are plenty of techniques and tactics to take advantage of every minute, but there is one of curious name that has authentic fans: the Pomodoro Technique.Do you want to know what it is?

Do you need time ? Try the Pomodoro Technique

Simple and efficient, if you are serious, of course.And you need an essential tool: a clock , but not just to look at the time.clock (or better a timer) will mark the phases of the work.If preferred, there are also many applications and computer tools.

How to put it into practice? Let's do it:

The first thing is to prepare a list of tasks, feasible, it is useless to be overwhelmed in advance with work that we know will be impossible to do.
You then work intensively for 25 minutes .Neither one more nor one less, and without distractions.These periods are called “pomodoros”
After that time rest (better, disconnect) for 5 minutes.
Work another "pomodoro" and rest again.Yes on.
When you have 4 "pomodoros ”The rest will be of 20 minutes.

But, as it could not be so simple, Pomodoro Technique requires taking care of some aspects.First, prioritize the tasks you want to perform.it is convenient to calculate how much time each one can take, that allows you to better manage the time they are dedicated to.

And you have to be very strict .They are 25 minutes of work, although there are only 10 left to finish the task you have to stop.The same goes for the breaks, you have to forget about “a little more.” What if the thing is that the work is finished and there are 10 minutes left of the “pomodoro”? In that case it is best to review or improve what has been done until time runs out.

More advice. No distractions while working .Of course, the phone is silent, because every distraction is a true thief of time, not counting with the loss of concentration.And on the contrary, in the rest time nothing to think about the pending work.Every thing has its moment and its time, and it is convenient to be inflexible.

And once it is mastered the technique can set goals.That is, that task that is performed in four "pomodoros" try to do it only in three.In the end you will get to get that game that you need so much We will study or work time. The hours will continue to have 60 minutes, but they will give much more of themselves.

This method is based on the idea that mental agility is favored if frequent breaks are made .Of course, it also has detractors, who point out that it is too rigid or that the work periods are excessively short, but nothing like putting it into practice and see if it works in each particular case and even adapt it to the preferences of each one.Willing to try?/p>

We can't say goodbye without telling a curiosity. The Pomodoro Technique was invented by an Italian, Francesco Cirillo, in the 80s. But can you imagine why I baptized her like this? Because I use to measure time one of those tomato-shaped kitchen timers, that is, "pomodoro".
