This week I've began to apply a technique called Pomodoro (http://
www.pomodorotechnique.com/) to manage myself. Here i would like to
share my opinion about the technique because the pomodoro can also be
useful to other folks here on JSOP. The pomodoro book is free and
short, less than 40 pages, with an out-of-the-box solution to manage
your work that really works (at least for me it).
A pomodoro means 25 of planed and focused work + 5 minutes of rest,
and for every 4 pomodoros you can have a lager break (15-30 minutes).
25 minutes might seam to short, and I've thought at the begin that the
5min break would make you lose the focus of the activity. But the
truth is that when you start a pomodoro, you focus completely on the
task of that pomodoro, and the breaks are convenient because they
allow you to do other thinks like: checking your email, having a glass
of watter, eating, talking, or whatever you need to do that is NOT
related to your goals. This breaks makes you relax and when is over
you can start the next pomodoro and focus only on the actual task.
As now we are about to start the JSOP program I think that both
students and mentors should try using the pomodoro on their projects,
because it is a technique that helps you to manage your own work, So
instead of asking how many hour/week you'r willing to work on JSOP,
we
can ask how many pomodoros/day you can give to your JSOP project
Read the book for more details -> http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/resources.html
Ive also posted the basic rules on my site ->

This is an awesome technique and I started working according to it as
soon as I saw it.
I'm now in my 4th Pomodoro for today. :)

I agree,
I fell much more efficient with it, pomodoro is alsome! Experientially when you need to do boring stuff that usually get delayed
I also noticed that, when you are on a critical pomodoro is useful to go offline on skype and anyother IM
