pomodoro technique

Work in small chucks with define goals and time periods. For me I would say something like. "Get X done in 15 minutes". Set an alarm for it and at the end of it set another goal. On a sheet of paper or in Evernote, document what you accomplished in this time frame.

Before you take a break, take a look notes as to what you actually accomplished and take note of any roadblocks. Often times I find that I do the run into the same wall if I don't analyze and make the necessary adjustments.

Remember to take breaks. after a few successful task. 10 or 15 minutes. I generally try to work in 2 or 3 hour chunks of time before taking a break.
