My 10th grade daughter has difficulty staying focused at the beginning of each school year. After about a month she settles in a gets grounded with her focus with school work. We’ve tried different productivity and focus methods in the past (I’m a fan of GTD) but just recently decided to encourage my daughter toward the Pomodoro technique. In a nutshell the Pomodoro technique works with a 25 minute timer as you work on one specific task, check off that task when the bell rings and then take a 5 minute break. After 4 Pomodoros (25 minute work increment) in a row you get to take a longer break. Simple right? You could easily grab an egg timer for this but we found a one of the best iPad apps that utilizes the Pomodoro technique.
In the Pomodoro app for iPad the first thing you’ll notice is the eye-catching beauty of the user interface. It is clean and easy to tap navigate to set your timer and enter your work and project tasks. We’ve used this iPad app with my daughter for homework assignments and it works beautifully and has made me more productive at the office. (screenshots and video demo after break) Continue Reading →
