「釋義」

番茄工作法是一種時間管理法，在1980年代由Francesco Cirillo創(chuàng)立。該方法使用一個定時器來分割出一個一般為25分鐘的工作時間和5分鐘的休息時間，而那些時間段被稱為pomodoros，為意大利語的番茄。

番茄工作法的關鍵是規(guī)劃、追蹤、記錄、處理，以及可視化。在規(guī)劃階段，任務被根據優(yōu)先級排入每日清單。這允許用戶預計每個任務的工作量。當每個番茄時結束后，成果會被記錄下來以提高參與者的成就感并為未來的自我觀察和改進提供原始數據。

「應用場景」

體驗控制的悖論。

Experiencing the Paradox of Control.?

實驗者經常開始使用番茄工作法來提高生產力，并確定它是有效的。Jarno指出："我可以看到突飛猛進的進步。"他的實驗結果顯示，他開發(fā)代碼的速度是之前的2到2.5倍。

Experimenters often start using the Pomodoro Technique to boost productivity and determine it works. “I could see a sudden improvement,”?notes Jarno, whose measurements showed that he was developing code at two to two-and-a-half times his previous rate.

但他們驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，更多的產出并不是最令人滿意的結果。實驗者傾向于認為可量化的結果不如增強權力和控制感重要。"對我來說，[比提高生產力]更重要的是，它改變了開始集中精力完成艱巨任務以及解決困難項目的感覺，"Jarno總結道，這與我從這些個體實驗中一再看到的結論一致。

But they are surprised to learn that more output is not the most satisfying outcome at the end of the day. Experimenters tend to perceive quantifiable outcomes as less significant than existential ones, such as enhanced feelings of power and control. “What was way more important to?me?[than productivity] was that it changed the way it felt to start concentrating on hard tasks…and to tackle difficult projects,”?Jarno concludes, echoing an insight I see again and again from these personal experiments.

"我覺得我現(xiàn)在可以控制自己了。這有點諷刺，因為前提是我的一天被迫分成番茄時，"他說。

“I felt like I was in control now.? Which is kind of ironic as my day had been divided into these forced time slots,” he says.
