"The answer? Work in 5 minute sprints. Press enter or click to view image in full size How I started this was setting a timer for 5 minutes, then take 10 minute breaks. This work / break works for me but I would try and test what makes it feel the easiest for you. 5 min work. 10 min break. 5 min work. 20 min break. (The truest Anti-Pomodoro technique LOL)"
"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. On top of that, write down every small thing you did as a way to track your progress for the day. It will feel more satisfying when you look back at all the lines you've checked out in your To Do List."
Work in very short timed sprints to lower the barrier to starting tasks. Pair each sprint with a break length that feels easiest, such as five minutes of work followed by ten or twenty minutes of rest. Reduce sprint length to one minute when motivation is extremely low, then gradually increase. Keep a visible record of every small completed task to reinforce momentum and satisfaction. Test and adjust sprint and break durations to suit personal energy and motivation patterns for consistent progress.
