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! 💓
Have you ever felt like you could never stick to your plans and follow the path to your goals? 📝
NEXKY would like to introduce to you guys a method to keep YOU in check. 📌
Starting from now, NEXKY would like YOU to give yourself a “Performance Score” at the end of each week. Take 5-10 minutes to reflect on yourself over the past week. The performance score can be categorized into 3 levels :
Level of Consciousness: 😢 | ☹️ | 😑 | 🙂 | 💯
Level of Discipline: 😢 | ☹️ | 😑 | 🙂 | 💯
Level of Health and Stress: 😢 | ☹️ | 😑 | 🙂 | 💯
1. Level of Consciousness
Living in the moment means that you are aware of the goals you have set and how you are going in that direction. For example, if your goal is to attain the highest GPA in your batch, you might need to plan your studies and read up on each semester’s syllabus ahead of time!⏰
2. Level of Discipline
It is the amount of energy you put into something you know is difficult, but eventually, it will bring you closer to your goals, if you stick to it. For example, if you had planned out your weekly schedule to go for a run🏃🏽. But did you skip that plan and went ahead to sleep💤 in because you didn’t feel like it? Don’t worry if you did not discipline yourself well enough at the start; slowly work your way up! 📈
3. Level of Health and Stress
Your body IS your biggest asset, and if your stress levels are not kept in check, it could ultimately destroy your functionality in the long run! Therefore, it is essential to get 7 hours of uninterrupted rest and some physical workouts every day! Check out the 4-Minute Fat Burner (TABATA) if you are short on time for exercising! 🏋🏼
NEXKY knows that at the start of each semester, we are all excited to set up a proper system for ourselves. But don’t be TOO hard on yourself! Take some time off and relax! Treat yourself like how you would treat your loved ones 🍋💛
