I recently blogged on the Pomodoro technique, which breaks tasks down in a bit more manageable bites. Please take a look at Respect the Tomato on my Bulldog Simplicity blog for a more detailed look at this technique. http://posborne1.wordpress.com/2009/10/04/pomodoro-time-management/ In a world where we're rarely able to go five or 10 minutes without interruption from Blackberrys, e-mails, or demands from bosses or teams, there are those who would argue that setting aside 50 minutes of focused time is a pipe dream.

I wish I had been wearing a productivity hat today. Interruption after interruption despite best efforts at productivity. Happy Halloween! Nice! I wish I had been wearing a productivity hat today.

Something about it sitting there, in your face, with the knoweledge it's going to buzz, keeps you anchored to the task at hand.

I have always been a proponent of "chunking time" based on the specific type of tasks but never used a stop watch ... definitely will try this. "Productivity Hat" ... hysterical. I just attended a presentation by the Disney Institute on "Inspiring Creativity." My team brainstormed on ways to inspire creativity and we came up with wearing "Mickey Mouse ears" to increase the mindset of creativity ... very similar concept. A simple thing like wearing a hat can be a powerful way of focusing on a new mindset ... even if you feel a little "goofy." :-0) Good stuff! Love the tips.
