Have you heard of the Pomodoro Technique? !
Ever since I arrived here in Canada my life has been a holy mess. Holy because finally I am with my husband Luis then second, we had our second child Brielle. I never thought life here will be literally emotionally, mentally and most of all physically DIFFICULT! From a senorita life to a all around home maker -- in one snap my life changed. And believe me I really thought I was well prepared but nah ah, my mom was right -- she predicted that I will call her and cry over the household chores I have to finish on my own. And she was right! That happened several times already :)
With all the things I have to accomplish as a wife and a mother in every day of my life, especially now that I am taking care of my 2 month old daughter, chaos is absolutely expected! And how you manage your time is extremely important in my situation. I once found myself running around the house just to make sure that I'll maximize my time while Brielle was asleep. Ten minutes of my time getting wasted is already crucial. Every minute matters now so I googled ( i love Google! Google is the answer for everything!LOL!) for the best time management technique that will work for me and finally I found one!
I would like to share with you the Pomodoro Technique. This technique is basically not doing anything for 25 minutes except for your assigned task. Meaning no facebook, twitter or etc. And importantly stick to that schedule! No extensions! This is the second day I'm using this method (I am actually using it at this very moment) and so far I noticed an improvement in my production. I just know that this too will work for you that 's why I am sharing this here. You will love this! Just try to stick to it and you'll witness an increase in your productivity and focus!
you will need the following to perform Pomodoro:
You can also check this site to get the whole idea. Enjoy and let's all be productive!!! My 25 minutes is almost done! I need to finish this entry!

you will need the following to perform Pomodoro:
- kitchen timer (of course you can use any other timer!)
- pencil
- To-Do Sheet (you can download one from the site)
- An Activity Inventory Sheet
- A Records Sheet (the “Record”, “Process” and “Review” stages are all done on this sheet).
