Face it, many of us are overloaded. We’ve got a million things to do, and no time to do them.
Taking an hour and shattering it into 5 periods of 10 minutes, with 2 minute breaks between, hence “(10+2)*5″ (yes, we’re math geeks too and we know the “*” is redundant.. but it looks pretty). The idea is to work in small sprints, giving 100% + for short bursts of time and then taking a micro-break.
Instant Boss is a great software program that aims to be the clockwatcher for all us procrastinating brainy-types. The timer features a large display, and keeps track of the total number of minutes worked over all your sprints. You commit to working a certain amount of minutes, then you get a break, then the Instant Boss voice prompts you to “Get back to work!”
The program is Windows only and is free with donations accepted. More info here.
