Time is the one resource every person shares equally—yet it is the one most often lost without notice. In The Pomodoro Technique & More, Jorik Malvern takes listeners on a deep exploration of how to reclaim focus, overcome procrastination, and work with intention in an age of constant distraction. This is not just a productivity manual—it’s a blueprint for regaining control of your attention, your priorities, and your peace of mind.

The modern world thrives on interruption. Notifications, emails, and endless digital noise fracture our concentration and fragment our days. In this landscape, time management has become more than a skill—it is an act of self-preservation. Through ten of the most effective and time-tested methods ever developed, Malvern shows how to fight back against overwhelm and design a life structured around clarity and purpose.

From the Pomodoro Technique’s focused bursts of work to the Eisenhower Matrix’s elegant approach to prioritisation, from the simplicity of Time Blocking to the psychological mastery of Getting Things Done, each method offers a different path to discipline. Listeners will learn how to harness Parkinson’s Law to turn tight deadlines into motivation, apply the Pareto Principle to achieve maximum results with minimal effort, and use Eat the Frog to finally defeat procrastination. Malvern also explores lesser-known yet transformative systems such as Kanban for personal workflow, the Feynman Technique for deep learning, and the Bullet Journal Method—a return to the tangible, analogue focus so many have lost in the digital era.

But this book is not about rigid systems or one-size-fits-all solutions. Malvern acknowledges that productivity is profoundly personal. The goal is not perfection—it is awareness. Listeners are encouraged to experiment, adapt, and blend approaches until they find a rhythm that fits their unique mind and lifestyle. Each technique is unpacked with clarity, showing how it works, why it works, and how it can be applied to modern challenges—whether that means staying present in a remote workday, balancing creative projects, or finding time for rest in a world that never pauses.

Underneath every method runs a deeper theme: time management is not really about managing time—it is about managing ourselves. It is about recognising that every “yes” carries a thousand silent “no’s,” and that focus is not a talent but a choice. The ability to direct attention, resist distraction, and align action with intention is the true hallmark of mastery.

With insight drawn from psychology, philosophy, and lived experience, The Pomodoro Technique & More redefines what it means to be productive. It’s a guide not only for efficiency but for balance—for learning when to push forward and when to step back. Malvern reminds us that productivity should serve life, not consume it. Time, once lost, cannot be reclaimed—but how we shape it from this moment on is entirely within our power.

Whether you are a student, professional, creator, or simply someone seeking to bring order to chaos, this book offers the tools to help you focus deeply, work intelligently, and live deliberately. By mastering the art of time, you begin to master the art of living itself.
