A red tomato can change your life

October 13, 2020 by Elizabeth Hagen — Building Your Business

A red tomato can change your life

Have you heard of the Pomodoro method (pomodoro is ‘tomato’ in Italian).

If not, and you have trouble focusing. then this method is for you.

The method is setting a timer for 25 minutes and work on one thing. Like I’m doing right now writing this newsletter. The 25-minute work session is called a pomodoro.

The timer will go off after 25 minutes and then you set a 5-minute timer for a break. Then you start a 25-minute timer again (your 2nd pomodoro) and get more stuff done.
You can set a goal of ‘x’ number of pomodoros a day and watch your productivity soar. For every 4th pomodoro set a break for 15-30 minutes. You deserve it!
Simple, right?!! But, it works. Especially for things you don’t want to do. The timer gives a sense of urgency.
Of course, you can use your phone’s timer but I got a digital one from Amazon. I love the red color as it stares at me on my desk. I can’t miss it!
To me, being productive and on top of things gives me the time to give to others. If I’m so focused on me I can’t give to others. Need help in the productivity department – I’m one call or Zoom away!
