How I Beat Khal in Engagement With A Tomato

Last week a launched a series of jabs and abuses at our dear @khaleelkazi with regard to his Leofinance Engagement Challenge. I can't remember them all but I was lighting him up in Discord and went as far as laying down evidence that he wasn't human and actually Khalbot.

He scoffed at me with his usual hoody-lined wit but I had laid down the gauntlet and pre-declared victory. I secretly thought I was screwed but I knew Khal had a busy week and I had some unusual wiggle room because of that.

But I needed to come up with a plan because engagement is hard. It is time-consuming and inefficient for someone like me because I have the attention span of a goat. I needed a plan.

I needed a plan. So I did what anyone in my position would do. I reached for my tomato!

You see, back in 2013 when I was working in tech my company did a seminar about time management and efficiency. All the geeks and nerds were pretty good at setting and accomplishing goals but let's just say that I lacked in that department.

But we learned about, and started to practice something called The Pomodoro Technique. And you guessed it, Pomodoro is Italian for Tomato.

You can learn about it in the link above but in a nutshell it is a time management method where you set a timer for 20 or 25 minutes and do hyper-focused work followed by a 5 minute break.

Within that time period, you only focus on 1 task. So no checking emails, no getting a glass of water or checking your hive wallet. Just reading and commenting.

Each round is called a Pomodoro and you arrange your day according to your Pomodoros. In my case back in 2013 my nerds were so impressed with my improvements they actually bought me a tomato timer and I used it. Nowadays there are apps and chrome extensions to help you. For the Leofinance Engagement Challenge I used the Marinara: Pomodoro Assistant and it worked like a charm.

I would set a 25-minute Pomodoro for engagement, and then others to do other work tasks. I managed several really great Pomodoro engagement sessions throught the day and my breaks actually felt too long.

My one mistake was not fully understanding that the contest runs Friday to Friday so I had a lot of overlap between the current contest and the previous one. So, in theory, I would have done much better but I still did enough to beat Khal and that was the goal.

So know you know how I Beat Khal with a Tomato! Are you participating in the Leofinance Engagement Challenge? Do you have a plan to swipe 100 Leo from Khal each week? Let me know about it in the comments.

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

Wow that's one good technique I've never heard of 😅 and it gave a really good result considering the fact that you thought it would have been really hard without the technique.

Congrats on being among those who beat Khal 😅 but I think he's cooking up some more super powers to overtake next week... Are we ready for some more tomato technique? Yes!!!! 😂

All the best this week, I'm sure you'll do even better.

Okay, no kidding... specify the variety of tomato...bull heart, cream, thick? Does shape, size and degree of maturity matter?

Writing a post to further you engagement! I see what you did there 😅

I only yesterday learned about this challenge tbh. I usually am more active through the ecency app. But I just installed the Leofinance app to get into the flow. I have no clue how much, let’s say, 200 comments really is for a week. Heck I don’t have a clue how many comments I write typically in an averag week.

Perhaps in one of the next rounds I join the challenge. I’m already doing tomatoes during my regular day job, so I should be good at that department 👌

So just know that the engagement challenge starts on Friday and ends on Friday. Not sure what times. I always engage so it was never a big deal. But now with a bounty on @khaleelkazi it's more fun. I usually only engage through Leofinance.io so it's not much of a shift for me.

That's a great result for the week.
It's not easy to beat khalbot but you managed it.

Next up is taskmaster. I'm fairly sure that he is an AI that lives on the blockchain so will take some beating.

Even the AI or robot takes breaks. He was kind of slacking this week so I managed to take the top spot.
