In this episode of Work Less, Do More, we explore a powerful productivity combination: the Pomodoro Technique and Deep Work. If you're struggling with distractions or feel like time is slipping away, this episode is for you. We begin by breaking down the Pomodoro Technique—working in focused 25-minute sprints followed by short breaks—and discuss how it helps beat procrastination.
Highlighted moments
If you get distracted during this time, make a quick note of what pulled your attention away so you can come back to it later. But don't give in to the distraction.
“During your breaks, try to stay away from screens if you can. Going on social media or scrolling through your phone can often lead to more distractions and make it harder to refocus when you start your next Pomodoro session.”
“Instead of just saying you'll work on a project, break it down into smaller tasks. For example, instead of just saying work on my essay, you could set a goal for finish the introduction in one Pomodoro.”
“As you become more comfortable with this hybrid method, you can adjust the lengths of your Pomodoros and breaks. Some people find that 25 minutes is too short and that they can work longer without losing focus. You might find that you prefer focusing for 30 or even 45 minutes.”
