How to Manage Time More Effectively in Chrome

The trick with getting lengthy tasks done is not to do them entirely in one sitting (at least not continuously). One should get started on the task, take a break before boredom takes over, then return from the break and get started again. We can work for a specific time interval, then take a break for a specific time interval, and then repeat.

This type of time management is called the Promodo Technique, which is a way to get the most out of our time. We can turn time into a valuable ally to accomplish what we want to do and chart continuous improvement in the way we do it. The technique was (officially) created in 1992 by Francesco Cirillo. It is now practiced by professional teams and individuals around the world.

As a blogger I have personally found the technique to be quite helpful. Today I would like to share a little tool that eliminates the need of an external timer and lets us employ the Promodo Technique using just our computer. This tool is an extension for the Google Chrome browser and is titled ChromoDoro.

ChromoDoro is a great Chrome extension that lets us manage our time by setting 25 minutes for uninterruptedworking and then 5 minutes for rest. After the 25 minutes are over, we are shown a message that it is now time for a break.

After the 5 minutes of break are over, the cycle repeats itself and can be activated or deactivated by clicking the extension’s icon in the address bar of Chrome.

The number under the tomato icon shows us the time left in our working period.

The 25 and 5 minute intervals are set by default; to change these intervals, we can right click on the icon and access the extension’s options where we can adjust the work and rest timings.

ChromoDoro is a nifty extension that can help countless computer users particularly professional bloggers.
