Learn how to work with time, eliminate burnout,

manage distractions and create a better work–


life balance, using only a pen, some paper and a
kitchen timer.

Follow these six steps:

1. Choose a task you'd like to get done.


Something big, something small, something you’ve been putting off for a
million years: it doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s something that
deserves your full, undivided attention.

2. Set the Pomodoro for 25 minutes.


Make a small oath to yourself: I will spend 25 minutes on this task and I
will not interrupt myself. You can do it! After all, it’s just 25 minutes.

3. Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings.


Immerse yourself in the task for the next 25 minutes. If you suddenly
realize you have something else you need to do, write the task down on a
sheet of paper.

4. When the Pomodoro rings, put a checkmark on a


paper.
Congratulations! You’ve spent an entire, interruption-less Pomodoro on a
task.

5. Take a 5-minute break.


Breathe, meditate, grab a cup of coffee, go for a short walk or do something
else relaxing (i.e., not work-related). Your brain will thank you later.

6. Every 4 pomodoros, take a longer break.


Once you’ve completed four pomodoros, you can take a longer break. 20
minutes is good. Or 30. Your brain will use this time to assimilate new
information and rest before the next round of pomodoros.
