6 herramientas para aplicar la técnica de Pomodoro en vuestras lecturas.

✨¡Buenas gentes!✨

Me he dado cuenta últimamente de que me he metido en demasiados berenjenales que se chupan mi tiempo como un vampiro la sangre. Y lo peor es que ahora no tengo tiempos muertos en los que rascar unos minutos para leer, lo cual tiene más delito.

¡Mas no temáis! Porque he descubierto algo que me ha ayudado y quiero compartirlo con vosotros.

De casi todos es sabido lo que es la técnica Pomodoro, y si por aquí hay alguien que no, os cuento brevemente: Se trata de dividir el tiempo en bloques durante los cuales estaremos concentrados totalmente en lo que estamos haciendo. Por ejemplo: 25 minutos haciendo asientos contables, 5 minutos de descanso. Repetir cuatro veces.

He adoptado esta técnica para mi día a día y, de momento, me va genial. Pero en estas veces que necesitaba más, me encontré con un canal de Youtube que lo usaba para que la gente leyera con ella durante esos lapsos de tiempo. Y así, buceando, llegué a toparme con esta maravilla incluso en Twitch.

Así que, bueno... ¿por qué no usarlo yo? Es más, ¿por qué no puedes usarlo tú?

Si te interesa el tema, a continuación voy a enumerarte algunos de los métodos y herramientas de Pomodoro que utilizo o he utilizado y que han servido divinamente a mis propósitos.

1. Study With Me: Pomodoro con imagen de Ghibli de fondo.

En primer lugar tenemos una página web con una serie de fondos bastante colorida, pero en la cual destaca sin duda este fotograma del estudio Ghibli. Puedes configurar el contador con los bloques de tiempo que quieras: 25 minutos de trabajo, 30, 50... y lo mismo con los descansos. La aplicación comenzará a contabilizar el tiempo con su cuenta atrás mientras la tengas abierta, y te avisará con un sonido que también puedes personalizar de su galería cuando el bloque haya llegado a su fin.

Si utilizáis la herramienta de Notion, que sepáis que se puede incrustar en vuestras páginas de trabajo. Cuenta también con un servidor de Discord (del cual no os puedo hablar porque no he entrado aún) y un enlace a Spotify con una lista de reproducción de música Lo-Fi.

2. Twitch productivos con Pomodoro: Bicheando libros

La famosa Booktuber y escritora Paola Boutellier dedica los lunes, martes y miércoles un espacio para la productividad en su canal de Twitch. Ya sea trabajar, estudiar, escribir o leer, Paola ha creado un espacio de paz en su canal con espacio para conversaciones amenas en los descansos.

3. Twitch productivos con Pomodoro: Sala de estudios

Parecido al anterior, suele transmitir de lunes a viernes, a partir de las 8.00 de la mañana (hora española).

4. Study Leo, el bot de Discord para la productividad

Un bot para la aplicación de chat de voz "Discord". A través de comandos, puedes configurar los bloques de tiempo, y además te permite llevar un conteo de tus tareas y estadísticas del tiempo que has estado usándolo. Tiene muchas más opciones, como creación de salas especializadas, pero lo que más nos interesa es su Pomodoro. Para que no te duermas en los laureles, el bot accederá al canal de voz en el que estás para avisarte de que ha terminado el bloque de turno.

5. Reloj, la app de Google

Un poco más parco que lo que hemos visto hasta ahora, podemos utilizar el temporizador de esta aplicación para ir configurando cada bloque de tiempo. Disponible en la app store y gratuito.

6. Habitica Pomodoro Sitekeeper, la extensión de Chrome

"Habitica" es una conocida aplicación de móvil que te permite llevar la cuenta de tus tareas e incluso hábitos. Si contáis con el navegador "Google Chrome" en vuestro sistema, éste tiene una extensión con un contador Pomodoro que, además, os permitirá actualizar dichas tareas y hábitos de manera automática.

---✨

Y esto es todo por hoy. Espero que os haya gustado y que os haya ayudado a darle un empujón a vuestras lecturas pendientes. ¿Usabais ya Pomodoro para leer?

I was going to make this and have to mod it but my friend made a 72 hour one! It was inspired by me wanting to read Interview with the Vampire competitively https://discord.gg/VCjDGh2c

The prompts are Paranormal Romance, Bite to Eat, and to post a picture of your currently reading.

I'll be here all month, personally. Finished The Rosie Project yesterday so it counts for my board. It wasn't very pitchfork (...kinky), (it was fade to black) (there's a trope name for that in romance) it was pretty cute and had tension and a good narrator. Now I'm reading Alice Isn't Dead! It's not very spider so far but the beginning still gets me (the beginning is like the podcast, with the guy eating the omelette.) I'll be updating and letting you know how [blank] my reads are.

Chai and a Chat #8

Image by Valeriia Miller on Pexels. Well, it must be that time of the week again.. Time for another check in, and I really do hope that you’ve been well. I can’t say that much has happened to me since the last time that we ‘spoke’, but please, find your comfortable spot, make your favourite cold or hot drink and just take a few deep breaths in and then… slowly… let them out… Deep, belly breaths.…

Cosette is better than me because if my weirdo recluse father suddenly showed up with a massive, festering burn scar acting completely unconcerned and telling me to call a vet for him instead of a human doctor, I would have simply started killing.

#we talk about Valjean's saint-like qualities but what about Cosette man. that's a feat of mental strength. #also I'm reading the Donougher translation and I presume 'dog-doctor' means something like a vet? truly wild. #Valjean's wretched self-image strikes again #brick completion sprint #anyway Victor Hugo really set out to hurt me with the Jvj & Cosette dynamic in the chunk that I read today.. #the bit abt why he hates Marius + the chain gang + the wound back to back to back?? evil. i am unwell. #cosette fauchelevent #jean valjean #les miserables

Hour 16 Reading Sprint!

The tough half of this readathon has begun to really sink in for many of us, and we are starting to waver. The books are still calling, but the pillow, chores, pets and everything else may be getting harder to ignore, yet we have many hours still to go. Here's a great chance to regroup. Grab your book and your beverage and in this next hour let's launch into a good, solid reading sprint at the top of the hour.

On your marks!!! Get Set!!! Read!!!!!!!

✨¡Buenas gentes!✨

Aún tengo cositas que contaros.

Hoy y mañana toca Reading Sprint con la buena gente del club. Desde las 19.00 hasta las 21.00 estaré leyendo en bloques Pomodoro sin parar (bueno, parando en los descansos, pero ya me entendéis).

"Neimhaim" está bien bonito, pero las lecturas pendientes de los clubes tienen prioridad. Por eso, voy a pausarlo y aprovechar estos ratos de lectura intensiva para ponerme al día con ellos.

Mi meta es terminarme esta semana "La vieja guardia", de John Scalzi. Es para el club de lectura de Coleguitas de Poe y le tengo muchísimas ganas.

Os dejo por aquí la imagen de mis lecturas propuestas para estos Reading Sprints.

¿Vosotros habéis participado en alguno? ¿Os interesa la idea?

The great doors slammed to. Boom. The bars of iron fell into place inside. Clang. The gate was shut. Sam hurled himself against the bolted brazen plates and fell senseless to the ground. He was out in the darkness. Frodo was alive but taken by the Enemy.
