Kitchen timers are essential! They are positively priceless when it comes to timing dishes in the oven or on the stove. They are critical when making hard boiled eggs or cooking fish.They come in handy while overseeing a study session or enforcing a "time out". For me, they are critical when I am developing and testing recipes.
However, did you know that your little kitchen timer can help you achieve maximum efficiency in your everyday life? As a writer, I am constantly researching different waysto improve my productivity and efficiency. I am always looking for ways to avoid distractions or tackle writer's block.
During the summer, I discovereda fabulous podcast where they mentioned something called The Pomodoro Technique. In a nutshell, the technique segments tasks into 25 minute increments and the increments are timed by the use of a little kitchen timer! Created by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s, the technique has proven to bevery effective for many people.
I put the technique to the test earlier this week when I had to tackle one of my least favorite tasks. There was no way around the tedious task, so I just decided to clear the kitchen table, set the timer, and hunker down. Much to my delight, my little timer prodded me through the task right to the finish line.
Have any of you ever used your kitchen timer to tackle a least favorite task? If so, how? Have any of you used The Pomodoro Technique?
