Tomatowork: Time management device for the complete end of delay
Do you often feel compelled to focus when studying or working? I've been reading my phone, answering my messages, and it seems like you've been doing nothing for a day. If you're suffering from "delayedness" and "difficult attention", then Francisco Cirillo. Cirillo, founded in the 1980s. Tomatowork (Pomodoro Technique) It will be your salvation.
1. What is the tomato method?
The core idea of the tomato work method is simple: human attention is limited. Instead of forcing themselves to continue learning for hours and eventually leading to fatigue and distraction, working hours should be divided into several small and delicate blocks (i.e. “trigger clocks”).
The standard tomato clock process is as follows:
- Set tasks: Before starting, specify the specific objectives you will be able to achieve in the next period.
- Focus 25 minutes: Start the timer. Here. 25. In a minute, all interference (without the use of a mobile phone or irrelevant information) is eliminated and the mission is fully committed. This is a tomato clock.
- Short break 5 minutes: When the timer rings, it is forced to stop working, stand up for a glass of water, stretch out its loathing, and let the brain rest.
- Long rest 15-30 min: After completing four consecutive "trimato clocks", you are given a longer break to fully restore your brain.
2. Why does the tomato clock significantly improve efficiency?
There's a deep psychological basis behind this. First of all, 25 minutes of little promise. The psychological threshold for starting a mission has been significantly reduced. We would have to flee with instincts in the face of a mountain-like mission; But if the target is just “25 minutes of focus”, anyone can do it.
Second, compulsory rest periods (short/long breaks) can be effective in preventing Decision-making fatigue and Cognitive overload 。 The brain is like muscle, and it needs a little rhythm. By taking a active rest before exhaustion, you can keep the high-impact peaks all day.
3. How can the section be used for the online learning timer?
To provide the best insulation experience, our online tomato clock tool provides the following features:
- Custom duration: The default 25/5/15 minutes is not suitable for all. If you need to read in depth, you can set the focus to 45 times. (a) Minutes; If you're too distracted, you can set it for 15 minutes. It's completely free to customize.
- Intuitive visualization of the ring track: A big and sharp countdown circle, with colours to distinguish the current state (red = focus, green = short break, blue = long break), gives you a glimpse of the current progress.
- Daily learning statistics: The auto-record how many tomato clocks and total concentration hours you've completed today. Clear digital feedback can bring you a great sense of achievement and a source of momentum to sustain.
- Autoflow: When you open the "Auto Relay/Focus" you do not need to click manually, you automatically enter the countdown of the rest at the end of the focus, helping you to create a seamless muscle memory cycle.
Tip: If you find yourself trying to do something else during the "focus" period, you can put a piece of paper on your hand. When other ideas emerge (e.g. “Go check the name of this song”), write it on paper and immediately pull attention back to the current task. We'll take care of these chores after the break.
