[Audio] Overview of popular time management techniques, such as: 1.The Pomodoro Technique The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, called " Pomodoros". These intervals are separated by short breaks. After four "Pomodoros", a longer break is taken. The Pomodoro Technique helps individuals focus on a specific task for a set period of time, minimizing distractions and increasing productivity. The short breaks help to re-energize and refocus the mind, while the longer breaks allow for rest and recharge The short breaks help to re-energize and refocus the mind, while the longer breaks allow for rest and recharge. This technique can be used to improve efficiency, increase productivity and better manage time. It can be easily adapted to suit personal needs and preferences..

Page 10 (4m 13s)

[Audio] Implementing the Pomodoro Technique is relatively simple and can be done in a few steps: Choose a task: Decide on the task you want to complete and make sure it is specific and actionable. Set a timer: Use a timer, such as a kitchen timer, a smartphone app, or a computer program, and set it for 25 minutes (a traditional " Pomodoro"). Work on the task: Focus on the task at hand for the entire 25 minutes. Avoid distractions and interruptions as much as possible. Take a short break: Once the timer goes off, take a short break of about 5 minutes. Use this time to stretch, grab a snack, or do something else to refresh your mind. Repeat: Repeat steps 1- 4 three more times ( four " Pomodoros" in total) and then take a longer break of about 15- 20 minutes. Adjust as needed: As you become more comfortable with the technique, you can adjust the length of the "Pomodoros" and breaks to suit your needs. It's important to remember that the Pomodoro Technique is a flexible method, and you can adjust it to suit your needs and schedule. The key is to break your work into focused intervals with short breaks in between..

Important, but not urgent: Tasks that are important, but not urgent should be scheduled and planned for, as they have a high level of importance, but not a high level of urgency. Urgent, but not important: Tasks that are urgent, but not important should be delegated or outsourced, as they have a high level of urgency, but not a high level of importance. Not urgent and not important: Tasks that are not urgent and not important should be eliminated, as they have a low level of both urgency and importance.
