Episode 009 - SOLO: Getting Productive with Poros

Description:

The pomodoro technique helps for getting things done.

  • Goes against my general theory of just taking breaks when you feel is needed
  • Can be a companion, if you get distracted to often or you seem to take to many breaks
  • Measured in poros, which are blocks of time
  • Attempt to get X poros (4 generally) to get a decent break. Eg each poro completed (default 25 mins), gives you 5 minutes of break time, completing 4 gives you 10 minutes.
  • Its more of a guide not a must do and its configurable.
  • Great app is “Timer” (http://martakostova.github.io/timer/) which is a mac based app, but there are plenty of others, for all platforms.
