This is one of the best articles I have read today. I found the Pomodoro Technique very interesting and would love to give it a try but I am worried that I won't be able to do it consistently.

How do you encourage your self to take short breaks in between? I literally sit down for hours before standing up and I think it will be hard to change that.😭

[Edidiong Asikpo](https://hashnode.com/@didicodes) Glad you liked it. Yes, taking breaks might be challenging at first. I started it by doing a few things like drinking plenty of water - I used this break to hydrate myself as it is also important to stay productive. After getting used to it I started walking around while drinking and think about what I should achieve during the next interval. It might seem time-consuming at first but It actually helps a lot.

Nice. So I basically need to find something that will motivate me to stand up.

Just like you said, drinking water is definitely a good motivation. I also like the idea of thinking of what to do at the next interval. This is fantastic [Raja Rahul](https://hashnode.com/@rajarahul). Thank you.
