Do you ever feel that your tasks just keep piling up over the weeks, and you just don’t have enough time? NEXKY knows why! We’ve all been there, sitting at a blank screen, just about to write our semester paper📝, BUT, we all end up doing something easier like using our Instagram, Facebook, or just about anything else that isn’t related to writing. That is why NEXKY wants to introduce to you the Pomodoro Technique! 🍅
How do I make use of this technique? Start off by picking 1️⃣ task to work on, just ONE, not more than that! Then you put on a 25-minute timer, and you work as urgently as you can during that duration. Once the 25-minute is finished, give yourself 5 minutes to rest and relax. Congratulations!🎉 You just collect one Pomodoro! Repeat this process another three more times, and then you reward yourself with a 15-minute break!
Why does this work? Let NEXKY tell you! Essentially, when we set a time for a particular task, we tend to do things more urgently🏃🏼♀️💨 and consistently. This timer serves as a commitment to yourself that you will accomplish said task if you just START. We often feel like we have an endless amount of time during the day and feel stressed out during the night because we did not get anything done. So, it is extremely essential to use a timer! ⏲
Also! By setting a timer on your device, it gives you a fixed end-time. It does not matter how much you have written on your semester paper; what matters is that you started, and you know that it’ll only take you 25 minutes until your next break! This relieves you from additional stress and feeling burnt-out. Trust NEXKY, that 5-minute rest will feel more rewarding than spending hours scrolling on your Instagram! 💓
