Midday Check-in Entry #1

08.29.24
This morning was not as productive as I wanted it to be but at least I was able to make progress in studying, specifically the lesson plan for my managerial economics quiz next week. I was able to dedicated an hour (by using the 45/15 pomodoro technique) and a half studying the handout and now I’m halfway through the material :-))
Speaking of pomodoro, I recently downloaded this app called FocusPomo. It’s a cute and effective app so far! The little tomatoes do a good job of motivating to study more instead of putting it off.
This type of entry will be common here since my classes are usually in the afternoon. Therefore, I have to spend my mornings productively.

✔️ Norwegian Duolingo
✔️ Diploma table of contents
✔️ Reaserch about 17 exam questions for the diploma
✔️ Making churros
✔️ Research on books on the subject of restaurant design
✔️ Back to using forest - I planted 4 trees, but only because I was constantly forgetting about setting it up....

Я решила попробовать метод pomodoro. 45 минут работы/учебы - 15 минут отдыха (в моем случае чтения худлита). И неожиданно, но это работает. Мне тяжело заставить себя читать, а если читать порционно, то не устаешь и хочешь продолжить.

POMODORO TECHNIQUE:
So the rundown is.. choose a task, set the timer to 25 minutes (pomodoros), after each pomodoros, you take a 5-10 minute break, after you take 4 pomodoros, you take a 30-60 minute break. Repeat until satisfied. Here is the official website.
This technique is designed to:
Improve your reading speed.
Track assignments.
Write papers.
Break down large tasks (like drafting a research paper) into smaller steps.
P.S this is what the website says. I find it extremely helpful for time management.
What You Should Use it For:
Projects
essays
studying
anything that takes a longer period of time than usual
just break it down to small tasks!!!
What You Shouldn’t Use it For:
math/ science homework
homework you can get done within a short period of time
homework that is due tomorrow
of course do what you want, adjust to your needs!!!
Apps:
I chose
my fave free ones because we all broke student with no cash.
Pomodoro/Focus Keeper (ios): Basic features of pomodoro timers. Attractive and light interface. Great getting-started tutorial. !transitions! from break to work timers automatically.
Pomodoro Time (ios/android/window): Has statistics + the basic features. Slightly less attractive than the pomodoro keeper in my opinion. To-do list is neat. It is full of easy to use features.
FocusNow(ios/android/window): Forest but for pomodoros! It’s my favorite one in terms of productivity because it’s really fun and useful. I am addicted to collecting the trees tbh. It’s so cute omg.
Seriously, just choose any timer you like that can set to 25 and 5 minutes. These are all just specialized ones.
Break Ideas:
I made a guide here.
Printables:
This week’s printables is a simple pomodoro planner. You fill in the task and color in the printables, giving you the satisfaction of checking it off each time.It’s simple and minimalistic. ps. the dropbox version looks a little glitchy but I promise it works just fine.
