Try a different Pomodoro approach

The Pomodoro 🍅 Technique with a Twist:

1. Set a Timer for 25 Minutes: Work on a single task for this duration. This focused time block is known as a 'Pomodoro'.
2. Take a 5-Minute Break: After the timer rings, take a short break. Stand up, stretch, or grab a quick drink.
3. The Twist - Reflect and Review: After every four Pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes). During this break, spend the first 5 minutes reflecting on what you've accomplished and what could be improved in your workflow.

Reflect: Ask yourself what went well, what didn't, and if there's anything you learned about the task or your working style.

Review: Look at your tasks for the next cycle. Prioritize them or break them down into smaller steps if necessary.

Track Your Progress: Keep a log of your Pomodoros. This not only helps you see your productivity over time but also gives you a sense of achievement.

Why This Works:

• Focus: The short bursts help maintain concentration.
• Breaks: They prevent burnout and keep your mind fresh.
• Reflection: This step is often missing. It helps in continuous improvement, making future Pomodoros more effective.

Try this for a week and see if it enhances your focus and productivity. Remember, productivity is not just about doing more but doing things more effectively.
