or, How to Adapt the Pomodoro Technique to Help You Ketchup on Your Writing - For writers, the Pomodoro Technique can help you write more, if you use it right!
Think I'll give this a go to assist me with the rather tedious task of moving a novel onto a publishing platform one chapter at a time. I'm trying not to spend too much time editing at this stage but keep getting hung up making little fixes. I just need to move the words over efficiently first. So I can nitpick later. 😁
Perfect timing! I am planning a solo writing retreat in a couple weeks and already planned to use the pomodoro timer to keep myself on track. Here’s my tip for when I’m dragging my great about getting started: set the timer for ten minutes. The super short time is much easier to conquer mentally and usually will generate enough momentum to keep going after the timer starts.
Thank you Graham! It is so funny! I was thinking last week about using the pomodoro technique for my non-fiction book 😸 great minds think alike 😉 I got an agent and a book deal 🙌 very happy about it! Hope you are doing well.
