Have you used Pomodoro Technique?

I am a morning person as well, I use that on a personal level, heavy stuff to the morning and the easier toward the end of my working schedule for the day.

Sante, that's a great news that you are willing to add changes and improve the method, it might not suit all activities but for sitting 3 hours for a lecture with only 10 minutes break every 90 minutes it is hard on the brain to stay in focus.

I normally put emphasis on setting daily goals. This method helps to organize the thoughts and streamline the path to those goals.

However, I also prioritise my schedule

Kevin, thanks for your comment I guess you are full active in early morning and don't think you need a break but if you do so your energy might last longer to the last working hours of the day.

Interesting technique which draws on good practices such as relative sizing, decomposing work to an appropriate level, avoiding multitasking and taking frequent breaks.

My own approach is slightly different:I'm most productive first thing in the morning so I protect that time for any heavy analytical or planning type work and will block time off in my calendar to work on that. I also strive for Inbox Zero to avoid repeatedly looking at or processing old e-mail.

Love the name of the technique though - puts in mind for a nice pasta pomodoro with a glass of a good Bordeaux or Chianti...

I don't tend to apply anything formally, though have long followed a structure of taking small bites with small rest. I have expressed in other threads that my work and study habits follow the pattern of focused work, with pauses. I had also given up the farse of multi-tasking ensuring that I prioritize and knock-off tasks like duck hunt at the local carnival :)

Thank you for your explanation.
