Distracted while working? You may like the Pomodoro Method.
You can modify it, but the general concept is this:
⏰ set a timer.
⏰Totally focus on your task - no texting, no getting up, just focus!
⏰When your timer goes off, take a break! Get up, get water, go to the bathroom, text your friends back.
⏰Repeat this several cycles before taking a longer break.
Why I like this:
Gives you permission to have a break. So, so many of my clients mention alloting a TON of time to a task, but getting distracted so in the end...they have not accomplished their goal.
The brain can only retain so much. It's important to take breaks to prevent burn out.
It acknowledges the natural need for rest, and caring for yourself...but also of being diligent and focused while on a attention-focused task.
This is a simple and classic time management technique but...you should definitely do this. THIS WEEK! Report back to me on how it goes!
