The Pomodoro Technique
-
Hi, everybody. It's not a secret that time management is quite actual issue for programmers. I would tell about one time management technique my best ex-co-worker (and currently best friend) Helen told me. I'm using it about one month and I can confidently say that my productivity is increasing and I became more disciplined in relation to the waste of time. So, let's see what is 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 periods of work into 25-minute intervals called 'pomodori' (from the Italian word for 'tomato') separated by breaks. Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design, the method has been adopted in pair programming contexts. The method is based on the idea that frequent breaks can improve mental agility. There are five basic steps to implementing the technique: - decide on the task to be done - set the pomodoro (timer) to 25 minutes - work on the task until the timer rings; record with an x - take a short break (5 minutes) - every four "pomodori" take a longer break (15–20 minutes) There is a lot of specific for this purpose software. I installed PomoTime and didn't disappointed. So, let's try to use it and describe our feelings here.
Recently I developed a technique called "Egg Timer Optimized Management Time Allotment". Recent studies show it's 45% to 86% more effective than any other know technique. The secret? Well glad you asked! I take an egg timer, wait five minutes, then beat the living shit out of someone for posting spamming moronic dribble like this!

And I thought is was about making tomato sauce ...

Yawn: more bullshit from people who don't have a clue. Actually, the one and only time I tried pair programming we came to blows.

Would it be anything like the choke clause. If they get aggravating you allowed to choke the s**t out of them?

I'm afraid an egg timer would go entirely to waste if I were with a porno star. I'd be a rock star if I could last 3 minutes! :-O
