How can I manage large tasks with the Pomodoro Technique?

Do you get easily distracted when completing large tasks?

The Pomodoro Technique combines:

• focused work sessions

• frequent short breaks

This makes large tasks more manageable and helps you get more done.

Choose a task from your to-do list and set a timer for 25 minutes.

Tip: Split larger tasks into smaller tasks that you can complete in 2 hours or less.

Work without interruptions on a single task until the timer rings.

Tip: Combine small related tasks into one session, such as paying multiple bills.

When the timer rings after 25 minutes, enjoy a 5 minute break.

Go to the restroom, refill your drink, or do a little dancing.

Congratulations! You completed one Pomodoro! Now do it again.

Add a check mark next to the task after you complete a Pomodoro.

After four Pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minutes break.

This is the perfect time to get a snack, go for a walk, or meditate.

Next time you have a large task and don't know where to start, try the Pomodoro Technique.

Try It!
