The Pomodoro Technique, A Review.

Hi, I'm Brian pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I bought this little timer quite a few years ago, I don't even have batteries left in it. Let's see, I think it took a little double A or something. Yeah, little double or triple A, I think it takes a one trick light battery to run this little timer.

And this, I think I already had an iPhone at the time when I bought this. But the reason why I bought it is because someone had told me or I had read somewhere about the Pomodoro Technique. And what the Pomodoro Technique, basically in a nutshell, is, it's the idea of allowing yourself to focus for a stretch of time, specifically focus hard on something, and then take a break, and then do it again and then take a break.

And eventually, you know, doing that a number of times, so you can take a longer break. But really being able to focus long enough, I've heard 50 minutes tossed around quite a bit 4550 minutes, some people take even less sometimes it'll take 20 minutes or so. And that was the whole idea of why I bought this timer so that I can set it for 15 minutes, set it focus on what I'm doing, get it done, and move on.

Now, how well does it work?

It works great for the people that have tried it and have gotten it to work well for them. Okay, it really does.

No doubt in my mind. I just heard Jeff Walker, put out a YouTube Jeff Walker, for those of you don't know, the inventor of the product, Launch Formula, some number of other things, brilliant stuff, go watch this stuff. He's got great, great insight.

He talked about how much it had changed and helped out his creativity.

It really allowed him to get his job done. I think a lot of it comes down to coordination. I could be wrong on that. But if I were to guess, in fact that it's a good question, I'll probably I'll probably put it in my facebook group that I belong to high quickstarts.

I found that so if you're not familiar with curation, here's another thing you can go look up, go check out Kathy Colbys work over at colby.com. Specifically the Colby a index, you could take this little quiz to find out kind of where you lie on a cognitive scale.

And what co nation is it measures basically, the work side of your brain, and where you how you work best how you function best at your highest level when you're in work mode, which is a different part of the brain than everything else. You know that they don't talk about this very often.

But it's a very specific area, it was golookup combination and what Kathy Colby has come up with it's really, really, really good stuff, some of some of the best things that I have been introduced to in the last 10 years. One of them is the concept of donation.

And I think that somewhat affects how well I adjust to any type of structure. Okay, one of the things I do is I have a very difficult time sticking to structure of any sort, unless I've figured it out ahead of time, kind of set myself to it and put it into a calendar and have to have kind of built a habit out of it. If I don't do that it's difficult.

And this is one of those things, I always had a tough time picking up. This is why I found this in a sword box, I have another thing about my personality,
