We can create as many apps and tools as we like to manage our time and calendar, but all the colour-coding, reminders, and scheduling won’t help you at all if the underlying knowledge and behaviour are not in place.
While the My Day Today app I use is key to my daily productivity, it relies on two foundational components:
- MyAnalytics
- Pomodoro technique
Understanding the importance of these and how they work is crucial for the app to do its job, which ultimately helps us do our jobs better.
I recently collaborated with fellow MVPs Ståle Hansen and Dux Raymond Sy to explain what the Pomodoro technique is, how MyAnalytics fits into the picture, and how Ståle and I use our different tools to achieve the same outcomes.
