Productivity Hack to Boost Your Creativity!
If you’re anything like me, you find it easy to get bogged down in large projects. Procrastination becomes a hobby, things slow down….
Productivity drops. Big time.
While on the hunt for a maintainable solution to this, I discovered the Pomodoro technique. And wow, what an absolute GAME CHANGER.

Now I know many of you may be aware of it, discussed it, used it... but if that's not you, here's a quick intro to it:
- Decide on the task to be done.
- Set the timer to 25 minutes.
- Work on the task until the timer rings.
- Take a short 5 minute break.
- Repeat this FOUR TIMES….
- Then on the 5th cycle, take a 15-30 minute break.
And repeat….
Once I adopted this method my productivity increased, larger and overwhelming projects became easier to digest and chip away at, and my tea and coffee consumption actually went DOWN.
Miracles do happen.
Side note - you can use ANY timer to time your intervals, but I use (and recommend) Toggl Track. You can use it as an extension in Google Chrome, which makes starting/ending/cataloguing projects easy.
That’s it - I hope this helps you level up and smash out some incredible audio work 🎧🔥
