The Pomodoro Technique
I had noted previously that I find it really useful to set a timer when doing computer work.. turns out some of gone a little further and coined “The Pomodoro Technique, which is:
a time management method that can be used for any kind of task. For many people, time is an enemy. The anxiety triggered by “the ticking clock”, especially when a deadline is involved, leads to ineffective work and study habits which in turn lead to procrastination.
The aim of the Pomodoro Technique is to use time as a valuable ally in accomplishing what we want to do in the way we want to do it, and to enable us to continually improve the way we work or study.
