1. Write list of “To Do” {Classic 10-Pomodoro}
2. Divide time into 25min slots – Pomodoro
3. Rank and Order them in to Decision Matrix. 1-Pomodoro
4. Start with “DO” – Eat the Frog First (toughest task first) 6-10
Pomodoro
5. Delegate and follow-up (1-Pomodoro)
6. Decide on Not-Urgent/Important – schedule time after attending -
“DO” (2-4 Pomodoro)
• Plan in the evening before and review early in the
morning, then work on your tasks
• Break all big tasks into Pomodoro slots
• Top-Down <> Bottom-up
• Goal-Driven <> Problem-Driven
• SMAC* each of the Pomodoro (25m 7m25m)
• Eliminate distractions. Do in Pomodoro break-time
{Inform – Negotiate – Schedule – Call back: the
distractions}
• Beware of Common Mistakes
1. Job broken-down without deadlines
2. Too many tasks on day
3. Tasks on the list without SMAC goals
4. Mixed-up lists with goals & context
5. Not tracking progress / completion
6. Paralysis by Analysis (Not completing Pomodoro)
Pomodoro = a task that can be accomplished in ~25min slot

4. 4
1. Specific – well defined achievement
2. Measurable – A clear measure of quality and
quantity achieved
3. Achievable – A reasonable goal that can be
accomplished in the task and time
4. Challenging – A goal or result that inspires
focused work and innovation
5. SMART – Realistic targets that can be
accomplished within allotted time/effort;
Timely – is working to goal on time.
Whenever the ‘to-do’ list is made, reviewed and
revised keep SMAT in mind and be SMART
SMAC is being SMART
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Challenging

• Top-Down = Step-wise design
i. Level-0: FINAL goal and results - What &
When
ii. Level-1: Clear components with SMAC
results aggregating to FINAL
iii. Level-2: Specific TASKS resolving each
Level-1. HOW of the problem.
iv. Schedule and complete Level-2 tasks
(Pomodoro)  FINAL results
• Bottom-Up = Piecing together into higher
results.
i. Useful in dynamic problems which
change significantly during work.
ii. Generate tasks in Level-2 (Pomodoro)
and aggregate later
Breaking-down large
tasks into Pomodoro
Top-Down = Suitable for dividing into tasks that can be accomplished
in ~25min slot
Bottom-Up = Suitable for dynamic weakly bound problems.
Aggregation of many small tasks

6. Effort is
the driver
Put efforts where it
matters

7. 7
Not everything is important.
Studies, projects, systems, teams, tasks :- Prioritize
in 4 levels
1. CRITICAL :- Pivot or nucleus to the system
2. ESSENTIAL :- Very Important, Fundamental
part
3. NECESSARY :- Valuable, impactful, but
negotiable elements
4. DESIRED :- Good-to-have, wish-list,
preferences, choices that not directly effect
performance or reliability
When you organize efforts or time give clear
priority to important aspects. Classify tasks
Learn to Prioritise
