A cucumber and an artichoke walk into a bar…
Cucumber: How was your working day?
Artichoke: Terrible, I didn’t get anything done.
Cucumber: How come, were you lazy?
Artichoke: No, I ran on every track that appeared, all day long.
Cucumber: Was that your intention in the morning?
Artichoke: No, when I came to office, I was totally committed to complete and deliver a new printing feature.
Cucumber: But, you didn’t do that?
Artichoke: No, I was almost constantly interrupted with important requests for doing other things.
Cucumber: And these requests were more important than your printing feature?
Artichoke: I didn’t compare.
Cucumber: And you completed nothing – neither the printing feature, nor the important requests?
Artichoke: How could I complete so many things in just one day?
Cucumber: I didn’t ask if you completed many things, I asked if you completed anything.
Artichoke: No, nothing was completed.
Cucumber: What about focus on one single activity for 25 minutes and then after a short break compare any new requests with the one you were working on, to see which one is most prioritized; and then follow your new prioritizing?
Artichoke: Great idea! Is there a name for that?
Cucumber: Indeed, it’s the Pomodoro Technique.
