Pomodoro
I tried the famous Pomodoro technique while I was editing photographs. I had some experience with it but I wouldn’t say that I’m an expert in it. My experience was quite opposite of what I was expecting.
I was expecting that I’ll have no issues while following the Pomodoro technique. But to my surprise I found it difficult to take a 5 minutes break after 25 minutes of work. Maybe it was because I was doing something that I really enjoy. Next time, I’ll try this technique on tasks that I don’t like.
I think if we are doing work that is enjoyable, taking breaks feels like wasting time. I think in my experience I accomplished the same amount of work, if I were to work without this technique. This experience did make me skeptical about the Pomodoro technique but I’m still open to give it a try once again. The work will be different and it will accurately gauge its effectiveness.
