Doing your work on time is the major issue we as a student face. Being unproductive during the task is also one of the reason of not completing our task on time and perfectly. I decided to follow the pomodoro technique in order to get my university assignments done on time. I decided that I will take 35 minutes on each of the assignment .Starting from the most interesting subject to the least interested I keep on doing those task and all the delayed work was done by just using the technique .

The experiment was very difficult for me in the first 35 minutes but when I get use to it my other three task become easier for me because I was using my time productivity and their was one thing on my mind which was the ‘’ ALARM WILL RING’’.

This task helped me a lot in accomplishing my set goal because otherwise I will be engaging in some other activities like social media by saying that ‘’ I GOT A WHOLE DAY TO DO IT ‘’.

Yes I plan to do this technique regularly because apart from the academics work I also have some household task like when you wake up you can easily set timer for making your bed, doing the breakfast etc etc. One thing I will do to improve will be instead of making the timer on phone I will use a alarm clock in which I will be using timer because the difficulties I face this time was every time I was checking with the timer ring I was distracted towards the notification I got and automatically my mind was diverting towards that. But I will use this technique In future in order to utilize my time productively and not from the ones who are time waster. By this activity instead of using 4 5 hours in making one assignment I did 4 assignments in 4 hours with having breaks on it.
