I have heard a lot about the Pomodoro technique but haven't tried it yet.
Let's assume I wanted to. Do I need to set an alarm that reminds me to rest after working for an hour? What's the right way to go about this, in your opinion? Pasca Vlad
The Pomodoro technique is pretty cool. You just set a Pomo for say 25 minutes where you just focus on whatever task you are doing. And then when the time is up you could take a 10 minute break, followed by another 25 minutes of solid working. It does not need to be 25 minute intervals by the way you could do it for 1 hour and then take a 15 minute break followed by another 1 hour of hard focused work.
The Forest app is pretty cool for doing Pomodoro as it adds gamification. Basically you do a Pomo and there is a tree growing for your forest. You are now allowed to use your phone because it's a distraction. If you do then your tree dies and it will show up dead in your forest 😂 So as long as you complete your Pomo with distractions you will have a nice beautiful forest. You can even share it on social media.
