The Pomodoro technique

Pomodoro technique works on concentration. Choose a big task that needs a concentration. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Fully concentrate on the task until the timer rings and put a check mark on paper. Take 5 minutes break and set your timer for 25 minutes again. Put the check mark again and at the end count how many intervals you needed to tackle the task. After 4 intervals take a break of half an hour. Repeat until the task is finished.

Eat that frog

This technic says that you should do the most challenging or unpleasant task as the first thing. First, make a list of everything that you need to do. Then identify the frog(s) – task or tasks that needed to be done first. Put them on the top of the list. Eat that frog the first thing in the morning. This will give you a confidence to tackle anything else on your list that day.

Getting things done

Gather all tasks in one place: big, small, personal, professional, immediate, long term and so on. Clarify the tasks and make sure they’re actionable. Make categories for them. Reflect them repeatedly: every week, month or even day.

The action method

This method says that you should organize your tasks in certain groups. First group: list of specific tasks that are actionable items. Other list: supplementary info/resources you need to get task done. The third list: things that don’t need to be done immediately.

The Seinfeld method

This method counts on consistency. It says that you should choose one or more specific tasks/goals that you want to improve. Mark off each day you complete the task on a calendar. And the most important – try not to break the chain.
