This Tool will Boost Your Productivity - Guaranteed!!

This Tool will Boost Your Productivity - Guaranteed!! In this post, I want to talk about my favourite application/tool to get more done. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine few weeks back. I started using the Pomodoro Challenge Timer In a nutshell, the Pomodoro technique uses a timer to break down your work into intervals traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks And this is why?1. FORCED DISCIPLINEThere is something about a ticking clock that just makes your more resourceful. Maybe it is because we are visual creatures, and the sight of a timer makes us realize that our time is finite. And we want to make the most use of our time. I think it puts a fire under your butt to get to work.evalIn the app,you are able to create multiple projects Here is my favourite feature . I love Gamification . I try to apply it to everything I do in my life. It just makes your work, your goals,your projects more fun. Every company has sales contests for that reason. It makes you more competitive and brings out the best in peopl e.You get rewards/achievements based on how often you use the tool , and how well you complete the projects.The more you use it, the more achievements you get. You are ranked based on how you work.As I am writing this post, my rank is Persistent Slacker 4. ACCOUNTABILITYThe app works as both your Accountability Partner and Coach.Here is the annoying and fun part. I mentioned about unlocking new achievements for finishing projects.But you also get demoted if you don’t complete and record your projects. For the past few days I did not use the app and I got demoted ?? in my ranking. And when I saw that, I wanted to make sure I used the app more. It has forced me to get back to working on my goals and tasks.There are also alarms and notifications that go on (they are loud and annoying) when you take too long of a break. Let’s say you are taking your 5 minute break ; and then you get distracted into doing something else (like watching dozens of cat videos on YouTube). As you get into the Slacking mode, you will hear a loud whistle. It is your call to get back to work.It is like having a Football coach around you â€" so you can get back to work.Another bonus benefit is that you can Backup your data to Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and OneDrive.I guarantee you that the more you use the Technique and this particular app, the more you want to stick to your projects. As I was writing this article, I got a bit distracted but that big white timer on my phone screen reminded me to get back to work.Try the app out from the Android app store and let me know your thoughts. I am also curious to hear about your Ranking/Achievements.Now get back to work!!
