Use A Timer To Increase Productivity
The use of a timer for increasing productivity is beneficial because it helps the ability to concentrate for long enough to complete difficult or unpleasant tasks done. I've been advocating this method since I was a child. I learned this from my mother.
The simple idea is to set the timer for a short duration of time you need to focus on a particular task and then get it done. As the timer counts down, you should not be checking your emails or browsing the internet. Conversation with colleagues is not allowed. Concentrate on the job at hand.
There's actually an appropriate name for this idea and it's known as The Pomodoro Technique. Francesco Cirillo developed it in the 1980s. It's called Pomodoro because it's a kitchen timer which looks similar to tomatoes. Pomodoro is a tomato-shaped word in Italian is more intriguing than The Tomato Technique.

THE POMODORO Technique
The rule of thumb is to divide work into 25-minute segments. This is called Pomodoros. It is not able to be interrupted. Set the timer and then focus like a laser beam. In my view the most important thing about this technique is the "no interruptions" aspect. You can alter your "pomodoro" shorter or more than 25 minutes. Do what you like.
Dozens of work tasks benefit from this kind of uninterrupted focus. Write reports, respond to emails in batches , but not overly long, review complicated documents, make sales calls, and the list goes on. Focus on any project you are unable to manage well. Unpleasant tasks or ones you tend to put off could be good reasons to use this technique.
A GREAT TIME TO FEEL BREAKS OF COMMITMENT
Another method of using a timer improves productivity is to remind that you need to stop for a break. Between each focus session, take a quick 1-3 minute break to take a step up from your seat, put away files at your desk, review your To Do list, grab an ice cold drink, top off your coffee, stretch, etc. There is nothing that will strain your brain during this recuperation period. Every few hours, it is a good idea to take a longer break. 5- 10 minutes, perhaps. Short, frequent breaks are imperative to do the best job.
Make use of a kitchen TIMER or PHONETIMER
The best reason for using a real kitchen timer to increase productivity instead of an app on your phone is that during the mere seconds it takes to navigate to the app to create the timer on your phone, you'll become distracted by other things on your phone. It's amazing how quickly our focus can change once the device is on our hands. Then it saps your productivity instead of improving it.
It's also beneficial when the ticking sound of your timer can be heard. It is essential that the timer ticks as long as it isn't slowing down. It's tempting to check the digital timer each once in a while to make sure that it's working. You could lose your focus although it's a very small risk. |
