Why Pomodoro®?įrancesco Cirillo, the creator of the Pomodoro® Technique tells the 'Pomodoro Story.' The Pomodoro® Technique helps our brain recognise and observe those tricky moments and learn how to deal with them efficiently, which is so crucial in order to find functional answers and in the end to reach our goals. Procrastination and low productivity are the effect of the anxiety we feel when we don't know how to deal with the fact that we can't control time. And, as you may have experienced, these answers generate more frustration, weariness and a sense of guilt. The answers our frightened mind finds are dysfunctional: “run faster”, “work harder”, ”find a shortcut” 'do something else'. When our mind realizes that it cannot control time, we get scared and time appears to us as a vicious predator. We can't have as much as we want, neither stop it nor slow it down. This deceptively simple tool transforms both work and home life and make us far more productive. The Pomodoro® Technique is a training programme to learn how to deal with these occurrences in a productive way in order to reach our own objectives. These kinds of occurrences are common when it comes to reaching goals under the pressure of time. We know we should focus on the task in hand, but it feels impossible with so many distractions and demands on our time.

You are not alone! We all face the same problem.

You need to reach multiple goals by the end of the week and you don’t know what the best task to start with is.

You're constantly interrupted by other members of the team: your attention span gets smaller and smaller and you make more mistakes.

Your deadline is approaching and completing your task on time seems impossible: the more time you work on it and the more complex it seems.

You are working on a task and you hear a voice in your head: 'Are you sure this is the right thing to do now? Are you sure you are not forgetting something urgent to do? Are you sure there isn't a better way to do that?.

You are working on a task and you suddenly need to do other things - updating your Facebook status, working on a task of a different project, loading the dishwasher - instead of focusing on your current goal.Building a Turtle Graphics App with Design Patterns.
