Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro
Eat that Frog with a Pomodoro

The Pomodoro Technique is essentially a method using a timer to stay focused, productive and to overcome procrastination. They recommend 25 minutes followed by intentional breaks.

Decide on the task to be done. Set the Pomodoro timer (alarm) to 25 minutes. Work on the task until the timer rings. After the timer tings, put a star (or a tick) on a piece of paper. Take a short 3–5 minute break (perhaps treat yourself with a candy :) Repeat steps 1–4. After you have 4 ticks on your paper, you can take a longer break (15–20 minutes), and continue working on your task by going to step 1 until you complete your task.

I decided to complete my online course 2 of Amal Academy without any distractions using this technique.

I set an alarm of 25 minutes on google timer according to steps and start working on the course. I have many distractions like I start using the phone but I came back immediately on my work. When I almost reached to complete first pomodoro, suddenly I got a thing in my mind why the timer bell is not ringing and I checked it but there was still 30 seconds left and I decided to start the break from now.

After taking break I set another Pomodoro and started working in the same way, in this pomodoro I felt hungry but I controlled myself and I again repeated these steps for third time after taking a break as well.

In this short break, I could not control myself and went to eat some food to a restaurant and this is how I got distracted for a long time and after this my job time was started but I completed my online course up to 50% with the help of this technique in just 1:15 hour. It is really helpful technique to overcome procrastination but I need more practice on it.
