It can take up to 20 minutes to focus back on a task you were on if you are distracted for more than a few seconds.Ĭlose all apps, and windows and turn notifications off, even pop some earphones in and listen to some instrumental tracks so you can't be tempted to procrastinate by any 'ding's', messages and emails or even background noise. If you get interrupted during a Pomodoro, and it takes more than a few seconds to deal with, that Pomodoro is void, strike it and start again. Call them all back in 1 Pomodoro.ĭo not exceed 16 Pomodoro's a day, trust me when I say - focusing that intently during Pomodoros can be mentally tiring, you will likely not work at your best after 16, rest and recharge. Use the time on that same project - keep your focus on that. Re-read that email, re-edit the draft, learn more on that topic, think ahead to what the next tasks are on that project and spend time scheduling those. If you complete a task much quicker than the length of the Pomodoro you can 'overlearn' or 'keep working' it. If a single task takes more than 5 Pomodoro to complete - it needs to be broken up into smaller tasks and allocated Pomodoros for each.
