The Pomodoro Technique
In a sound bite culture, one that we face today with many distractions, information comes to us from many sources, i.e. internet, books, TV, etc. God is gracious to us in that he gives us time, time to spend either for His glory or to dawdle away in vain pursuits. I saw a video about how to practically use time for greater productivity. This technique is rather simple: take 25 minutes and spend that time focused only on one task. I love to read, but have found it very difficult recently. I get distracted so easily and wander from one thing to another without really focusing; thus my ability to retain information is severely diminished. I pray that as Christians we use time wisely and for God’s glory. We are stewards of all He has given us, and time is short. God knows every hair that will say or fall from one’s head. For those of us who struggle with stewardship and merely paying attention, a focused shorter time frame of study is much better than taking in information at DSL speed.
