The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system that encourages people to work with the time they have rather than against it. Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as Pomodoro. After about four Pomodoro, you take a longer break of about 15 to 20 minutes

Procrastination is the habit of delaying tasks beyond a realistic timeframe for their completion. The habit is so common as to be very nearly universal, most people put off tasks from time to time. Nevertheless, procrastination can lead to a great deal of wasted time and can cause significant problems for the individual.

You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again”_ Benjamin Franklin

This quote is absolutely right as time do not wait for you ever and when it passed it never comes back and then only regret becomes your destiny. So be wise and utilize your time in a proper way to be successful in your life. As I also have a habit of procrastination so I planned to use this technique in order to help myself in starting work on time.

I take following steps to practice this technique:

Decided a task to be performed.

I have decided to create my superhero resume by following this technique.

Set the timer

I set the timer in my self phone for 25 minutes as standard time of this technique.

Removed the destructions

I removed all the destructions in my surrounding by turn off my WIFI and internet connection and put myself in a place where no one can reach me out.

Start working on resume

I start working on my resume with full attention and energy until my phone rang.

Take break and start again

I took about 5 minutes and get my self refresh and continue my working by setting alarm again or 25 minutes.

I repeat this technique six time and then my resume created.

Experiences that I learned

This technique helped me out in order to do my work with more concentration and energy and completed my task effectively with 150 minutes. If I didn’t used this method then it will take almost 10 hours to create my superhero resume. So it saved my time from being wasted in other unimportant activities. Finally I decided to used this technique in every important task of my life and I am sure one day I will take full command on using this technique.
