Writing this as I sip my coffee, hoping that this tension headache goes soon. I think it’s to do with the weather as it’s suddenly gone very cloudy and we are expecting heatwave.
Anyway, I rediscovered the Forest app this afternoon. I’ve done some variation of the Pomodoro technique over the years but now I want to integrate exercise too.
I was inspired by The Productivityist‘s video about incorporating movement or a short walk as the 4th pomodoro and it totally makes sense. I hope it works for me, we’ll see. I’ll keep you updated.
It’s amazing how quickly 25 minutes can fly by!
What do you use to stay focused? Let me know in the comments.

- I miss cameras. I have an iPhone 7 plus and that’s what I use for everything, website photography and videos. I might see if I can charge up my old pink Sony Cybershot and see what happens. Might be kind of fun to just take some pics and get them printed for our scrapbook.
- The problem I have on walks is that I see notifications on my phone as I’m taking pics and get distracted. Bloody social media.
