How to beat procrastination and improve your focus

 The secret to effective time management is...thinking in tomatoes rather than hours? It may seem silly at first, but millions of people swear by the life-changing power to the Pomodoro Technique. (Pomodoro is Italian for tomato. 🍅)

This popular time management method asks you to alternate pomodoros — focused work sessions — with frequent short breaks to promote sustained concentration and stave off mental fatigue.

Try the Pomodoro Technique if you...


  • Find little distractions often derail the whole workday

  • Consistently work past the point of optimal productivity

  • Have lots of open-ended work that could take unlimited amounts of time (e.g., studying for an exam, research for a blog post, etc.)

  • Are overly optimistic when it comes to how much you can get done in a day (aren't we all 🙃)

  • Enjoy gamified goal-setting


  • What is the Pomodoro Technique?

    The Pomodoro Technique was developed in the late 1980s by then university student Francesco Cirillo. Cirillo was struggling to focus on his studies and complete assignments. Feeling overwhelmed, he asked himself to commit to just 10 minutes of focused study time. Encouraged by the challenge, he found a tomato (pomodoro in Italian) shaped kitchen timer, and the Pomodoro technique was born.

    Though Cirillo went on to write a 130-page book about the method,  its biggest strength is its simplicity:

    1. Get a to-do list and a timer.

    2. Set your timer for 25 minutes, and focus on a single task until the timer rings.

    3. When your session ends, mark off one pomodoro and record what you completed.

    4. Then enjoy a five-minute break.

    5. After four pomodoros, take a longer, more restorative 15-30 minute break.

    The 25-minute work sprints are the core of the method, but a Pomodoro practice also includes three rules for getting the most out of each interval:

If meditation is so good for us, then why dont we do it?

Image
 Interesting question right?, In life there are many things we wish we could do but often we procrastinate or get distracted by dopamine stimulating activities instead of doing self improvement habits like meditation. So why cant we stop our bad habits and start productive ones? Well it comes down to low gaba levels in the brain which can inhibit addictivite impulses of dopamine. Secondly we have too much stress in modern society just living in the air pollution of wifi, emfs, 4g, 5g etc etc and our diets. Stress wastes dopamine into adrenaline and means our nervous system goes into a sympathetic state instead of a parasympathetic state.  Fight & flight vs rest and digestion. Another reason could be low willpower levels, a good book on this topic is called "The willpower Instinct by Kelly M" Chronic fatigue syndrome and mitochondria dysfunction are also two causes of super low energy levels. Comment below and let me know if you have any comments, questions or ideas. Pleas...
