What is the Pomodoro Technique? Pomodoro is an Italian word for Tomato. Francesco Cirillo named the system “POMODORO” after the tomato-shaped timer he used to track his work at the university as a student. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.  Pomodoro is a cyclical system in which the work is broken into short sprints and taking breaks to prevent the mind from exhaustion.

My thoughts every time when my friend is late at the meet-up point, “What was the time we were supposed to meet? Am I early? Is it actually Xday (whichever day you are reading) today? Am I over-dressed? Do I know that person? Does that person really exist? Do I exist? Am I thinking too much? 😆 Hell Yes!!! I am an overthinker. Are you? If yes, this is for you. If no, this is for you too (Thinking more is sometimes good for your health). For Overthinkers, nothing is simple. Everything is a high-intensity situation. For example, suppose you are hungry and you have to order something. Now if you are a normal person you will order that comes to your mind first. But no, we, super thinkers, will include many factors like!!! Am I very hungry or less hungry? What are all the viable options? Will they provide cutleries?  Hot or cold food? What is the price? What is the time? Etc etc. 😥😥 Below are the indications that you definitely overthink. Asking a lot of questi...

(A monk, who founded the Zen Buddhism discovered tea during his fifth year of contemplation.)  It is claimed that the most obsessed drink of India was alien to Indians until the 1920s. During this period advertising and distributing free samples of tea leaves to local vendors steeped the curve of tea lovers in India. Henceforth, mass production of tea leaves started in regions like Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri.  Drinking tea is healthy!!! Tea contains theophylline which does not elevate the central nervous system as much as caffeine. It is also an alternative for those who a...
