		<description>It helps to have two to-do lists, as recommended by the Pomodoro Technique. One list should be a long term list and the other one should be a list for only that day. Try as hard as you can to get everything on the daily list done. Be realistic. As for the long term list, you can move items from it onto your daily list as the days go by.

I used to have only one to-do list too and I always just kept rewriting it later. Things would stay on it for a year or more. The essence of a long term list is &quot;someday I will do this.&quot; But maybe you have noticed that there is no day on the calendar named &quot;someday.&quot; The essence of the daily to-do list is &quot;today I will do this.&quot;</description>

		<description>Funny thing I noticed, when I started using the pomodoro technique - was that I went from working 8-9 hours a day to only about 4-5. But I got SOO much more done in those 4-5 hours... so a good day I&#039;ll get 8-10 pomodoros done, but I&#039;ve done only 4 some days and still be insanely productive.</description>

		<description>Awesome, awesome, awesome.  This works for me.  Keeps the mind nice and orderly.  I&#039;ve been doing 50 minute stretches with 5 minute breaks for about a month now.  I&#039;m going to cut it down to 25.  Thanks for sharing.</description>

		<description>I used to work on the market data feeds coming from the stock market into a major financial firm, and that data was then fed to millions of customers. Our team used to be the trouble shooters and head off problems before they cost the customers and company gazillions of $’s. It was a time intensive (we’re talking about nanoseconds here) and brutal pace – all-day-long. Wiped me out e-v-e-r-y day. So glad to be out of there.</description>

		<description>I noticed that (household chores part) that and reading which is random - it says not to use it for anything but work - but i use it during my reading and it helps me stay focused on my book &amp; read faster actually - which is an awesome side effect! If you don&#039;t mind me asking what is the time intensive career you come from?</description>

		<description>Hi Maren,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ve used similar techniques. Coming from a time intensive career, I also work best against the clock. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also have a technique I use while watching TV. I don&#039;t watch a lot of TV, but will schedule specific times for programs I do want to watch during the week. But I don&#039;t let this completely stop me from getting things done.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every day I write up a task/project list of things I want to get done that day. When I do take the time to watch a program I like, I initiate the &#039;Commercial Work&#039; technique. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As soon as there&#039;s a commercial instead of using those 5-7 minutes to bounce around other channels, I work on one of the tasks on the list until the progrma comes back on. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This forces me to concentrate fiercely on the task at hand without getting side-tracked. It&#039;s amazing how much I&#039;m able to get done during a 1 hour program. There are times I get into a flow state and forget all about the program on TV.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This technique also works great in getting household chores done.</description>

		<description>Haven&#039;t tried it, I&#039;ll admit. I do my most productive work against a deadline...most creative when I&#039;m stream of thought listening to music after a few beers. However, maybe I could try the Pomodoro with music and beer :)</description>

		<description>Let me know how it works - seriously not ONE person who has tried this technique hasn&#039;t absolutely loved it. I can&#039;t believe how effective, free to use and powerful it is!</description>

		<description>I just can&#039;t work like this. I admire people that do, but I hate to stifle creativity...might not be the most efficient, but I like to just let it flow :)</description>

		<description>Now no one loves tomato&#039;s more than me.  Especially great big red ones!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, funnily enough I&#039;ve read about this technique a couple of times this week and it seriously is great. I&#039;ve used this technique for a while, although I never knew it was called the promodoro technique. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s such a great way to increase your productivity.</description>
