Snogoclock : Eat-a-Frog (monthly for members only)

Frogs & Tomatoes # snogoclock has been inspired by two #diamondgeezers:

M ark Twain American writer, humorist, entrepreneur & publisher

Francesco Cirillo German Italian programmer & brains behind the #pomodorotechnique

Mr Twain famously said 'Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.' A nd Signor Criillo believed 'One day we will be more creative, more productive and yet more relaxed.'

Tick! Tock! It's # snogoclock 90-minute slot once a month, where you can be a clockwork tomato and either start a project that's been on the backburner or complete a task that's been floating around for far too long. Everyone has one. Or both.

Sharpen your Focus with Pomofocus # snogoclock is one way to beat procrastination and drop into a productive flow. With a collective of Sisters on a similar mission. Time management is measured in tomatoes rather than hours. A nd Sister Snog recommends downloading an app (such as pomofocus.io to help keep the #snogoclock boogie-beat.

Seize the Day Book-in & dip-in to complete a task in 90 minutes. Then see if you can turn this monthly date into a habit and allocate time every week to focus on a task that needs your undivided attention.

This event is exclusively for members only

Format

Studies have shown that the brain is most effective when it works in short bursts, followed by rest periods. That's why the Pomodoro Technique so successfully helps so many by overcoming procrastination:

WORKING in nibble-some increments of 25-minutes with short bursts of 5-minute breaks

SHRINKING goals down to the next few things you can do in the time allotted

KEEPING videos on in the Zoom to create an energetic virtual environment for each other while we work...rather like working at the coolest cafe!
