This is traditionally anywhere between 10-12 pomodoro's. With pomodoro you set yourself a limit to the number of pomodoro's you believe you can complete each day. The idea that every person can be effective every hour of every day is a myth. This time is called a “pomodoro.”Īt the end of each pomodoro you take a 5 minute break, whether that's to grab a drink or take a toilet break. In this short time you concentrate on one task and one task only. The Pomodoro Technique invented by Francesco Cirillo emphasises that people are great at concentrating on tasks for a short burst of time, traditionally for 25-30 minutes. Pomodoro TechniqueĪs well as GTD, I've been really impressed by the Pomodoro Technique. However, the big problem with Omnifocus and GTD is that you can be easily swamped by too many things to do and a consequence a lack of productivity as you switch from one task to another, or become a victim of analysis paralysis. I really love the concept of Omnifocus and the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy and Omnifocus fits that perfectly.
In a quest to become more efficient with my time I've been searching for ways in which I can keep on top of tasks whilst optimising my time and minimising waste. This got me thinking about concentrating my own efforts and making sure my workflow too is giving the 80% benefit with only 20% effort. With this powerful knowledge we can decide which customers we spend the most time on and which customers we treat with a light touch (since they provide minimal benefit). The idea that you can apply to the 80/20 rule to pretty much most things.įor example, only 20% of your customers provide 80% of the profit at the very least. I've recently been reading Tim Feriss' Four-Hour Work Week which mentions Paretto's Law as one of Tim's core principles.
