Pomodoro Technique is an important Productivity tool and whether you are aware of it or not we are all using it on a day-to-day basis. The intention of this blog post is to make you consciously aware of this tool, its pros, and its cons. If you would rather have the information in video format you can proceed to watch the video and then come back to reinforce the information you have learned.
Pomodoro Technique boosts your productivity as it takes the path of least resistance. When your brain thinks this task needs only 25 minutes there is less resistance to doing it. If you think something needs 2 to 3 hours of your time your first instinct is to put it off for another time.
