In this episode, I'm going to talk about the Pomodoro technique and how you can use the Pomodoro technique to vanquish overwhelm once and for all. Welcome to part four of this productivity 2020 series. Be sure to watch all the way through to the end of this episode because I'm going to put a slightly different spin on the Pomodoro Technique, which is going to help you to grow your business profitably and fast. And that little tweak is this little secret that helps you to evaluate each Pomodoro that enables you to get the most out of each successive Pomodoro. So stay tuned. At the time of this recording in January 2020, we are actually using this specific technique within our membership program and it's getting spectacular results for our members.

Okay, so back to the Pomodoro technique. You're probably wondering what the heck is a Pomodoro? I'll explain the technique to you, but before I do, I just want to do a quick recap on the first three episodes in this productivity 2020 series. In part one of this series, they looked at the Eisenhower matrix and saw that the important activities aren't always those that appear urgent in your workflow. However, these important but not urgent activities contribute to your business growth in a massive way if executed consistently and before they become urgent and important. Ignore these quadrant two activities for long enough and you'll find yourself in a crisis situation where things that are urgent and important and they are going to be a huge drag on your resources. Ash Roy: 02:07 So if you haven't already watched it, I highly recommend you go back and check out part one of this productivity 2020 series, which you can see right here and I'll link to it below this video in the notes. Then in part two, we talked about systems and why'd they classify as a classic quadrant two activity, something that's important but not necessarily urgent. But the thing about systems is once you've built them, they keep on giving and they are one of the most leveraged ways for you to use your time and grow your business through delegation and through your team. In that same episode, I explained how to get started but systems and I showed you a simple way to create a standard operating procedure using something like ScreenFlow or Camtasia and you can check that video out right here. I'll also link to that one in the show notes. Ash Roy: 02:59 Now in part three, we talked about the 80 20 rule and we saw that 20% of your efforts deliver 80% of your results. And if you take that a couple of levels further, approximately 1% of your effort delivers approximately 51% of your results.
