Ready Steady Tomato – STP033

Episode 33 – We go on a journey from modern day Manchester to 1980’s Rome, and learn how you can solve YOUR procrastination problems.

Some of the USEFUL stuff in there is:

Who on earth is Bradley Griffin
Why is he in Starbucks? (The clue is that the episode is about procrastination)
What that’s got to do with 1980’s Italy
How a student there had some problems, and why it matters to you how he solved them
The Pomodoro Technique
An introduction video from Cirillo Company
The basic steps:
Step 1 – Get the tools: a timer, a piece of paper, and a pencil
Step 2 – Turn off distractions, and be clear on what piece of work you’re going to do
Step 3– Set the timer for 25 minutes
Step 4 – Start working, really focus, and just work. During the 25 minutes, if something comes up that could distract you, make a note of it on the piece of paper, and carry on working
Step 5 – When the timer goes off, step away from your work
