How to Use Pomodoro Technique to Improve Your Health

Pomodoro Technique is that 25 minute of focus work. I just get up from my desk and I stretch, I walk, do something, take my mind off. It also helps not only in posture, in also bringing back your concentration. Otherwise, you kind of tend to become dull if you just sit in the same place for one hour.

Speaker 2
Yeah, so now that's all in that article. So that that's really insightful. Right. Number two, Pomodoro Technique. What is Pomodoro Technique? How do you use it?
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's that 25 minute of focus work. Again, you're kind of deep diving into point one. How do you implement point one is using point two. Again, posture in the long run, I've been in this industry for quite long now. So my shoulders and my back, unless my posture is right, you know, I will have all those problems. So this 25 minute, I use a timer called Pomodocus. I set it for 25 minutes. 25 minutes, I do focus work and then I take a five minute break. I just get up from my desk and I stretch, I walk, do something, take my mind off. It also helps not only in posture, in also bringing back your concentration. Otherwise, you know, you kind of tend to become dull if you just sit in the same place for one hour and it's not good for your health also. I thought, I mean, it works terrifically on me. So I thought it's a real good tip for others.
Speaker 2
Yeah, and I like that you bring up the health aspect because it's, as I like to say, insidious right, you sit there and you don't notice it till it's too late, right, when you start having those problems. So for example, when you say like a three hour deep work window in one of the previous points, then you actually mean like six or so Pomodores, right? You would do like Pomodore five minutes break, Pomodore five minutes, etc. Till till three hours maybe, right?
Speaker 1
Yeah, in fact, after three five minute break, it gives us a 15 minute break, a longer break. Okay.
