Over 2,000,000 people read the first version. Now, for the first time ever, Francesco Cirillo’s "deceptively simple" time-management method is available in a newly updated and revised hardcover book! Filled with practical time-management advice, The Pomodoro Technique hardcover book is a godsend for procrastinators. The Wall Street Journal says the method can "help anyone to focus." The new version of the Pomodoro Technique includes a chapter on how to make the Technique work for you. Readers will also learn how to predict the time it takes to complete a task, monitor their productivity and set personal goals. Having fun with time management might seem like an oxymoron to some but it’s actually possible with the Pomodoro Technique! * Table of Contents Preface IX Introduction XI FOUNDATIONS The Context 3 Goals of the Pomodoro Technique 5 Basic Assumptions 6 PRACTICE Material and Method 9 Objective I: Find Out How Much Effort an Activity Requires 13 Start the First Pomodoro 14 Every Four Pomodoros 16 Completing an Activity 17 Recording 19 Improvement 21 The Nature of the Pomodoro 22 Objective II: Cut Down on Interruptions 25 Internal Interruptions 25 Scenario 27 External Interruptions 35 Systematic Interruptions 39 Recording: Qualitative Estimation Errors in Planning 40 Objective III: Estimate the Effort for Activities 43 Available Pomodoros 46 Possible Scenarios 48 Recording Estimates 51 Managing Exploration 54 Objective IV: Make the Pomodoro More Effective 55 The Structure of the Pomodoro 55 The Structure of the Pomodoro Set 56 Objective V: Set Up a Timetable 57 The Best Case Scenario 59 A Scenario with Interruptions 61 Optimizing Your Timetable 62 Objective VI: Define Your Own Improvement Objective... 65 RESULTS Observations 71 Learning Time 71 The Length of the Pomodoro 72 Varying the Length of Breaks 73 A Different Perception of Time 75 Sounds of the Pomodoro 76 People Who Use the Pomodoro 76 People Who Are Subject to the Pomodoro 77 Shapes of the Pomodoro 78 Ring Anxiety 78 Constant Internal Interruptions 81 The Next Pomodoro Will Go Better 82 What Type of Timer Works Best? 83 Improving Estimates 83 Motivation and the Pomodoro 85 And If Everything Goes Completely Wrong? 86 The Pomodoro Has a Limit 86 When Not to Use the Pomodoro 87 Mastering the Technique 89 Inverting the Dependency on Time 89 Regulating Complexity 90 Detachment 91 Observation and Continual Feedback 92 Sustainable Pace 93 The Next Step 95 Rules 99 Glossary 101 Get to Work 103 To Do Today Sheet 105 Inventory Sheet 107 Records Sheet 109 Bibliography Ill Acknowledgments 113
