Wrapping up 2020

Eat that frog with a Pomodoro

There is something so fascinating and attractive about handmade notebooks. It’s like recalling memories without moving anywhere. It’s about communicating with your past. I keep the love and joy in these notebooks. Nothing feels as lovely as you starting to look at your beautiful memories when you hold these notebooks in your hand.

Haven’t done this in a long while due to procrastination. Therefore, I thought to apply the Pomodoro technique. I allocate one hour to make these handmade notebooks. I set the Pomodoro timer to twenty minutes.

Let’s go!

I used a grey chart paper to cover the A4 size sheets which I cut into hundreds of pages to put my days and a lot of hope. Meanwhile, my mind distracted by some music but I tried to cut these several pages until the alarm buzzed. Then I took a ten minutes break and made a cup of tea before the timer tings again. For me, Chai is more than a cup of tea. It’s a chai in the middle of a busy task.

I set the Pomodoro timer again to twenty minutes. Then, I stitched these pages using thread and needle. This is a really fun activity. I played some music in the background while completing this activity. Finally, I completed the handmade notebooks and I am so obsessed with them.
