The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that I’ve been interested in recently. It is more about focus on the task at hand, rather than prioritizing or planning a huge set of tasks.
I’m still not entirely convinced of its virtues, but it seems to work well with development or design tasks. It sets an immediate goal to achieve, and all of the focus is directed towards each short-term objective.
The kitchen timer may not be the best thing to use in the office, so get a tool such as Pomodairo and give it a try!
