Pomodoro Technique
Have you heard of the pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.
It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.
Body doubling
Body Doubling is also a similar technique used. It is having that extra person to help keep you on track and help limit procrastination.
Body doubling is a strategy that helps many people with ADHD. Your body double provides support and helps anchor you to your task, even if they’re not directly involved.
Your double can be with you in person or virtually, like on a video call. The key is that they’re aware that you’re trying to get something done.
Your body double doesn’t have to actually help you with the activity. Instead, they keep you on track by providing a prompt, or intention.
