In my work its commum to come many tasks to do along the day, on the other hand i had the tasks planned of day before, so that scenario is very complex and dynamic to adminitrate and feel good in the end of the day with the outcomes.


Its difficult take a break when you’re called all the time. Imagine you take a break for five minutes and in this time your boss or co-worker or customer call you? What do you do?


In my opinion this Method is applicable to some roles and persons in the company, not general.

I procrastinate sometimes. You know, life is not flat. Things happened, or I was just not in the mood to do my things, or I just wanted to enjoy other things at that time. Being more productive is about balance between working and having fun, about quality more than quantity, and about our priority in life. Imo.

Really? An article about the Pomodoro method? Im having my 5 mins break right now, decided to check ebaby and I found this article in the main page!! whaat? that’s an awesome coincidence. I thought I was part of some little kind of “weird people” that knows that method. Now i see ebaby knows it too! (? Seriously, I’ve never heard from anybody to talk about it at college or work…anywhere. Never!


I started to use it in the last semester of 2014, but during 2015 and especially this year, Pomodoro method is a rule for me when it comes to study. I use TeamViz.

  Yes. I often procrastinate at work. Especially when the work is very rare. It is strange phenomenon. The more less the work is, the more serious phenomenon of the procrastination is.



  I found that very early. I don’t like this feeling of procrastination. It causes me depressed. But the same it seems I can’t help controlling myself.  I can’t help that of as wasting time as annoying myself.



  I have to find many thing to do for myself, so that it doesn’t waste a day. I study english. I write many words. I do sport. I walk.



  When I planned  these thing, I did the work first. Yes. I told me, I must do my favorite things after my work. Another said, only completed my work I could do my favorite activities. So, in order to do my favorite things, I did my work as soon as possible. Then I found I was productive. The important ,I didn’t feel depressed again.
