"Do you look at your To Do List and see all the things you need to do, but decide to lay on the couch instead? This method might be for you. I've tried so many things to try and get stuff done. But I found nothing worked. Until I tried this method. I call it the " Anti-Pomodoro" technique. I've seen a video where the creator called it the "Breadcrumb" method. But the foundation is the same."
"5 min work. 10 min break. 5 min work. 20 min break. (The truest Anti-Pomodoro technique LOL) Break it down to the easiest possible option for you. I'm not kidding. As in, if 5 minutes is too much (I'm not judging, by the way, because I do this sometimes when I'm so unmotivated), then start with a 1 minute. And go from there."
The Anti-Pomodoro technique relies on extremely short work sprints followed by longer breaks to reduce inertia and create momentum. Users can customize the ratio, for example five minutes of work with ten or twenty minute breaks, or shorten sprints to one minute when motivation is low. The method emphasizes breaking tasks into the smallest possible actions and repeatedly starting small to overcome avoidance. Recording every small completed item on a to-do list produces visible progress and increases satisfaction when reviewing the day's accomplishments.
