Cut some slack for yourself and the same app will not just humiliate you, but demote you with a loud sound so everyone around you at your workplace knows you were just demoted! Work consistently and it promotes you and opens up new achievements for you which you can proudly flaunt. The author of the application talks to you in first person and tells you how ruthless and unforgiving the application can be when it comes to getting you to work: So yeah, I love tough love - specially when I am dealing with myself.Īnd that is exactly why I love the Productivity Challenge Timer - which can be your personalized Pomodoro Instructor who has literally no feelings and is completely ruthless when it comes to getting you to work more. The question (and the brutally honest answer I give myself) gets me down temporarily but pushes me forward in the long run. And when it comes to work, I am also one of those people who don’t mind introspecting on questions like - Am I a Phony who hasn’t achieved much in life. One of the reasons I moved out of a gym and setup a gym at my home was because my gym instructor just wasn’t challenging me hard enough. I mean if I can tell people to stop bitching and get back to work I don’t mind someone doing that to me. I don’t know about you, but I like honest blatant truth. He would give you five minute breaks and once your breaks are over he would blow a loud whistle not just letting you, but your colleagues (who are hanging out with you) know that you now need to go back to work? Feels like an army trainer, doesn’t it?

And he would even insult you and humiliate you with taunts if you were procrastinating. What if I told you that you could have a personalized Pomodoro instructor who would not just push you to work, but would demote you if you didn’t work hard enough. There are physical twenty five minute timers you can buy for this.īut that’s just one aspect of Pomodoro. Then you allow yourself five minutes of distractions in a break and then you work for another twenty five minutes. You work for twenty five minutes, you focus on one thing and get it done. I’ve always been a fan of the Pomodoro Technique.
