[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

- Breaks are Not Optional: As the alarm clock, rings stop working and then take a break. It’s time to relax and re-energize yourself for the next task. Grab some snacks, go to restroom, stretch-out. It doesn’t matter what you do as you are taking a break.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
- External Interruptions: These types of interruptions are mostly from colleagues, clients who can distract with calls, chats, questions. It’s a good decision to inform them before that you won’t be available for some amount of time.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]
- Internal Interruptions: It’s good to acknowledge the distracting factors. By writing down each of distractions in the task list will make it literally visible, and you can reduce those interruptions.

- Pomodoro’s are not divisible: A real tomatoes can be cut into pieces. But a task named Pomodoro can’t be segmented into pieces, which means 25 minutes are exactly 25 minutes. As the timer indicates end time, don’t continue after that.

- Batch Related Pomodoro’s: If a task can be completed in less then 25 minutes, then instead of done separately, it can be grouped together.
