Deep Work Idea for Music Lovers
Here's an idea.
Record player Pomodoro timer.
I'm sure you've heard of the Pomodoro productivity technique where you do deep work for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, then back to 25 minutes of deep work.
You repeat this rhythm for your allotted time, until you get the project done, etc.
It allows for a good balance of focus AND rest and I have found it to be super effective.
The average side of a Full LP record is between 22 minutes and 25 minutes depending on the length of the album.
How about putting on an album lightly in the background and working till the music stops, take your five minute break, flip the record and get back at it?
I grabbed my old record player from the basement, dusted it off, and brought it into the office to give this a shot.
Just gotta figure out how to hook up speakers to this thing...
