Pomodoro and Trello: Time Management Tools to Make You a Better Salesperson

[Mitu3120]

I would say the biggest challenge in marketing is time management. When we are tasked with projects that vary in complexity and have different moving parts, we are juggling everything we have to organize internally and externally. It is an impossible task, but it is doable with the right time management skills. In my experience, here is what has worked and even the best tools to make your tasks up to par.

The Pomodoro Technique
I recently learned about this tool when I was in the midst of organizing all of my tasks. The Pomodoro technique divides your tasks into 25-minute increments. It's very similar to the 30/60/90 idea, where you divide your day into segmented tasks that are thailand consumer email list either 30, 60, or 90 minutes long. However, in this case (if you have a stack of projects to work on), you can make a commitment to only dedicate 25 minutes to the task. This way, everything on your to-do list gets attention without detracting from any one project.



Created by an entrepreneur, Pomodoro breaks down work into short sprints that help segment large projects: “When faced with a large task or series of tasks, we break the work down into short, timed intervals (called “Pomodoros”) that are spaced out by short stays. This trains your brain to focus for short periods and helps you stay engaged with deadlines or constantly refilling inboxes.”

Trello
The Pomodoro technique is really useful when combined with a project management tool like Trello. A project management tool (a much simplified version of any of the more complicated tools like Wrike or Asana), Trello is great for beginners who just need to have their task list sorted somewhere digitally. Trello allows you to create boards in various categories that you designate as needed. Within each board, you can do the same as with any other project management system and create checklists, giving them a description, setting a due date, attaching items, etc.
