#five minute rule

[ariologie]

my version of the five-minute rule

you guys know that when you struggle to start something, you put a timer for five minutes and then decide if the thing is worth continuing after

well

i found out my version of that is the pomodoro timer see i was using the crap out of the pomodoro timer as a grade schooler and now i'm realizing its value now

i seldom use the pomodoro timer as an adult but i have been STRUGGLING to finish an assignment (#mentallyillthings), but with the website I've been using, there's a goal setting feature that i FINALLY can properly use (i'll explain in another post) but pomodoro for me WORKS especially if i have been struggling to start something.

thank u pomodoro and since i'm not a gatekeeper, here is the website i use

What it is: You set a timer for five minutes. You stay committed to doing at least five minutes of a specific chore.

The "Emotional Sting" is real. When you hear a critique and your heart starts racing, you’re experiencing a biological threat response. Your system is flooded, which is why logic suddenly feels a million miles away.

Think of your emotions like a wave. If you try to fight the peak, you’ll get pulled under. But if you wait, the wave always recedes.

Enter the 5-Minute Rule:

Receive feedback.

Set a timer.

Don't defend or decide.

Just breathe until the timer goes off.

This gives your brain the time it needs to bring the "logical" centers back online.

Lmao my computer may be old and need time to start up, but I've created a new habit of using that time to clear off my desk. If I got a fast computer that started up immediately I'm going to have to find that idle time somewhere else!

I just dropped my mini sausages and they were bouncing all over the kitchen floor making it really difficult to pick them up. Five minute rule though. Right?
