So, the big thing with Pomodoros and working in Pomodoro blocks is staying focused on one particular type of task. I keep track of the days I don't bring a computer and I make calls, and then the days I have a computer -- and the numbers are staggering. I literally make half the calls if I have a computer in front of me. It's not that I'm not working... it's just that I'm working ineffectively.
You've been there. You respond to emails as they come. You look up things you could do later. Well, I'm trying out a new way if fixing that. Because I need the computer at work -- and we're pushing more and more towards a paperless office -- and so I need the computer for that and my software.
So, different log on screens! In my second logon screen. Skype is not installed on the computer and I do not have any of my emails set up. Could I check my google or my webmail in a pinch? Sure. But -- that's the point -- it's harder to do.
So it give it a whirl. Make it harder for you to multi-task.
