Take regular breaks
Breaks are important to stay productive. No individual can work for 10 hours straight. Taking regular breaks in between can boost your mind and keep you more focused on work. You can use time blocking techniques to divide your tasks and breaks. One of the most popular time blocking techniques is the Pomodoro technique.
So, what is the Pomodoro technique?
Pomodoro Technique is a 5-step process that keeps you mentally fresh and relaxed.
Here’s how it goes:
Step 1: Pick a task
Step 2: Set a 25-minute reminder
Step 3: Work on your task until the time is up
Step 4: Take a break for 5 minutes and continue working
Step 5: After every 4 Pomodoro sets, take a break of 15-30 minutes.
This or any similar technique can keep you more focused as these breaks act as rewards and prevent you from getting mentally exhausted.
Remember that time management is a long process. You cannot master it overnight. It requires consistency, resilience, and commitment for successful project management. But once it becomes your habit, you would be able to see a significant difference.
