Time management and the call of procrastination

Today I was feeling all flustered and had no idea why. It felt like I had stacks of work to do and didn’t know where to begin. Then half way trying to do something I felt like I had been working for hours on the same thing.

 

I took a step back and remembered a technique our scrum master has taught us called the Pomodoro technique. Yes I know it is old but I thought I would try it again. Now like any true geek I had to find an application that could do the timing (I know you can use any clock but I wanted a history of tasks done).

 

So I found a really cool Adobe Air application which has been developed free. http://code.google.com/p/pomodairo/. If you are one of the unfortunate Apple Mac users Winking smile a friend of mine uses http://pomodoro.ugolandini.com/

 

 

If you interested in reading more about the technic have a glance at http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/

 

Happy days!

I am South African. Always have been always will be. I love my country. I love my wife and two children.


I also really enjoy solving problems. I currently work as a Software Architect exploring new solutions for business problems. Having been round the block a few times I enjoy showing new developers how best to solve problems, how to find answers and how to approach solution development.


In my spare time I enjoy riding my super bike, training in Systema and horsing around with my family.

@telkomsa saying a pending R4.2 billion fine could sink them, I say sink them! Tired of paying for (no) service.

Unit tests don't check if code works. They PROVE the code works!

@Annaling horrific. People like that should face sever punishment. Unless of course they tried to find the cat :(
