Tick Tock
Picture by Jordyn Whittington
I challenged myself to try the Pomodoro Technique, and I
think I’m a fan! I’ve heard of something like this before, but it said to work
for a longer time period—it did not work for me. I love that this technique because
it is only twenty-five minutes. I’m someone that gets distracted by my phone a
lot. This technique really helps stop the urge.
Something that stood out to me in this video was
that sometimes people say they will not procrastinate later, but end up
procrastinating. I have definitely gone through this, and it is not fun. I
think reminding myself “I will procrastinate later, so do it now” is a good way
to finish what I start. I feel like depending on time in the future is a bad
idea because I’ve experienced that something always comes up—like grocery
shopping, laundry, or just simply talking to your roommates. These are all
little things that can happen in the future. After watching “The Science of
Procrastination—And How To Manage It,” I’ve realized that short term rewards
are not always the best, setting twenty-five minutes to work is actually very
effective because I tried it, and the Pomodoro Technique is a must try for all
procrastinator.
