It’s hard for me to get things done according to my timetable, which divides work for a while. Usually, I have a habit of doing stuff massively. Like when I start something, my goal is to finish it once in a flow to meet the deadline under pressure. I’ve got a terrible history of procrastination.

In the Amal Fellowship Productivity and Management Course, I came to learn a lot about tips and tricks. One of these is the Pomodoro Strategy.
Let’s have a look at what is the Pomodoro technique?
Pomodoro is a cyclical device. You‘re working in short sprints, making sure you‘re regularly successful. You also get to take regular breaks that will boost your motivation and make you creative.

I used the Pomodoro technique to complete my other online resume. I set the timer for 25 minutes and put my phone in silent mode. I shut off the data and wifi link for all social media applications. Once I did that, I started to give lectures with full focus and when the alarms ring. I’m going to take a relaxing breath and freshen up my mind for three to five minutes. I mark a point on a paper for this achievement. I repeat the same thing, and again, but for every four ticks, I take a 15–20-minute break. I turn my phone notifications and apps on and scroll through the apps.

This experiment has been beneficial to me. It helped me to be more concentrated and successful. Despite this beautiful encounter, I’ve chosen to make this approach part of my everyday life.

To strengthen my experience with this method, I‘m trying to minimize distractions, and I’ve done as much as I can, including thinking about social media again and again, and the temptation to check the screen.
