✨ Free Game Friday: My Secret to Maximizing Time✨
The more time you have, the more time you waste. ⏳
🆓💎 Time is Money: Maximize It with the Pomodoro Method 🆓💎
Hello, Star Players! Welcome to another edition of Free Game Friday! We’re talking about a concept I first learned about in grad school at Penn State (We ARE!)—Parkinson's Law. It’s one of my favorite theories, and it states that the more time you have, the more time you waste. Much like gas will expand to fill its container, we often expand a task to fill the time we've allotted for it. I've covered this for years in my workshops, and it’s a powerful truth.
Since becoming a new mom of twins, finding pockets of time is pure gold. I've had to get serious about maximizing every spare moment. A simple solution I want to share with you is the Pomodoro method using the free playlists on YouTube. These playlists provide 25 minutes of relaxing study music followed by 5 minutes of break music with nature sounds—a perfect reward for a solid block of heads-down focus.
I'm using the exact playlist linked below to draft this article right now, and it’s a game-changer. These playlists help me maximize productivity without constantly checking the clock, turning a 30-minute nap window into a productive work session.
I hope this helps you wind down the last few sweet weeks of summer. If you’re interested in having me speak to your team or group about time management, Parkinson's Law, and the Pomodoro method, please shoot me an email ([email protected]) and check out our workshop one-sheeter.
All my best,
-Ariel
