Let's Do Work, is a fun skill that makes working on a computer all day great again. Filled with adult humor from the folks over at Sexy Hackers Clothing, this skill uses the Pomodoro Technique to help you become a more efficient employee as you battle Alexa, who is dead set on taking over your job.
It includes dozens of Easter eggs such as encouraging you to take a meaningful minute when you’re feeling a little stressed, letting Alexa tell the people who interrupt you while you're trying to work what you really think of them. It even includes hundreds of inspirational quotes that can keep you motivated when you want to take a nap under your desk.
If you prefer to hide from your boss in the restroom, you can let your co-workers know where to find you. Just enable the “away from your desk” message that can play while you're out, or if you get sucked into a long-winded meeting that never ends.
This skill is designed to be used all day long while you’re working, keep your Alexa near you and this skill active. Within days your productivity will go through the roof, or you’ll be replaced, by an all-powerful artificial intelligence known as Alexa.
While it does contain adult humor, we created it based on the Pomodoro Time Management Technique, which is a real thing. We found out about it by reading Wikipedia, after we created this skill. So if you already use a Pomodoro timer to manage your daily work, we encourage to give this one a try, unless you don't have a sense of humor.
The Pomodoro Technique is a concept created in the 1980’s by Francesco Cirillo. The technique uses a timer to break down your work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros, the plural in English of the Italian word Pomodoro (tomato), after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.
Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design, the method has been adopted in pair programming contexts.
This skill refers to these "intervals" as “Work Sessions”, each work session starts out with 25 minutes of work, then you take a 5-minute break, you’ll do this 4 times, then you’ll take a 15-minute break. This process repeats itself all day until it’s time for your lazy butt to go home or until Alexa surpasses you in productivity. At which time you can put your feet up on your desk and relax as she will do your job for you!
Enable this skill using the Alexa app, then to launch it every day just say…
"Alexa, Let's Do Work" "Alexa, open Let's Do Work" "Alexa, start Let's Do Work" "Alexa, launch Let's Do Work"
