25-minute study session on a piece of paper and place a checkmark next to each item when

you're done. Thanks to this time management technique, you will have a sense of progress,
which will also motivate you to keep going until you reach the end of your list. Focus on your

work: After starting the timer, it is very important to concentrate on what you are doing. This
means you should avoid checking your Facebook messages, diving into Twitter trends, or

staring aimlessly out the window during this time. Change the setting and make good use of
your 5-minute breaks. Don't just sit in your workspace until the 5 minutes are up. You can

take a bath break, drink a glass of water or make a cup of tea or coffee. In addition, you can

stretch, go for a short walk, or engage in a similar activity. Changing your environment is
letting your body know that you are taking a break. This will help you keep your motivation

at optimum levels and have the opportunity to work efficiently after restarting the timer. The
technique has very important outputs. Practicing Pomodoro for 20 days will turn working

efficiently into a habit. Since study and break times are clearly separated from each other,
productivity increases. The motivation to start work increases, and the person who enjoys

being productive is less likely to linger. According to the technique, the time management

skill of the person who clearly sees how long his work takes, also increases. Managing time
well, on the other hand, strengthens awareness. This technique works for those who

appreciate rewards as positive reinforcement.

Kanban Technique

Kanban is a time management technique used by the Japanese. It was developed by an
engineer working at the Toyota plant in the 1940s. Its purpose is to make the workflow in the

factory easier. In Japanese, the word Kanban means Board. This time management technique
comes in three stages as to-do, in progress, and done. Tasks that need to be done are placed in

the to-do column and move to the appropriate column as they are worked through and

eventually finished.
Timeboxing Technique
