Try the pomodoro technique
This is a liitle, FREE tool, I have been using as of late and it seems to help keep me focused and on task.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980's. It can be used for any kind of task and enables you to view time as a valuable ally in accomplishing what you want to do.
The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals (referred to as "pomodoros") separated by breaks and 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 the task status
- take a short break (5 minutes)
- every four "pomodoros" take a longer break (15-20 minutes)
