Hold every hour in your grasp


Lucius, Hold every hour in your grasp...Lay hold of today's tasks and you'll not need to depend so much on tomorrow's

- Seneca


Timeboxing is an important technique to create focus and concentration.

for example , set aside 30 minutes and assign a topic as focus for 30 minutes ;

and do not waver from it for the next 30 minutes ; you keep writing , reading or learning about the topic for the next 30 minutes.

No distraction allowed ; if distracted you need to start all over.

This is the technique of Pomodoro

Ingvar Kempard , IKEA , founder says that Life happens in 10 minutes. my take is that Life happens in 30 minutes at a time.

So follow the timeboxing method and you would have laid each hour in your grasp!
