don't check email first thing in the morning, instead, devote the first 90 minutes to the most important or challenging task of the day.
- decide on the task the night before
- following a deliberate break – even just a few minutes — will make you feel refreshed and ready to face the rest of the day
- as day goes on, energy and attention tend to wear off while distractions tend to increase
- breathe deeply for as little as 1 minute – in to a count of three, out to a count of six – can quiet your mind, calm your emotions and clear your bloodstream of the stress hormone cortisol
- it’s better to work highly focused for short periods of time, with breaks in between, than to be partially focused for long periods of time
- decide on the task to be done
- set the pomodoro (timer) to 25 minute
- work on the task until the timer rings; record with an x
- take a short break (3-5 minutes)
- every four "pomodori" take a longer break (15–30 minutes)
