That's clever. I've seen websites meant to force you to write an essay that have a text box and if you aren't typing then it will start making increasingly loud and obnoxious noises.

I like him making fun of us Italians, although we're not actually having any afternoon naps, unless you're over 70 or are a farmer :(

  I'm neither over 70 nor a farmer; I try to take a 10- to 20-minute afternoon nap pretty much every day. (It helps to be self-employed.)

    Now that I am self employed as well, I try to, but it just makes me want to sleep the whole afternoon. It's either sleep deprivation, or Italian genes :)

  I just woke up from my afternoon nap (american here). I highly recommend it.

  You're missing out then. Taking a 20-30min nap has been the best sustainable productivity hack + lifestyle change that I've done.

    How much do you sleep per night and how much caffeine do you drink? I used to nap like that too, until I reduced my caffeine (one cup of coffee in the morning now) and started consistently getting 8-10 hours of sleep per night. I'm much happier and more productive than I ever was when I felt like I was constantly battling exhaustion with afternoon naps and coffees.

      Thanks, I'll have to experiment with that. I drink plenty of coffee and sleep about 7 hours.

Interesting! I never heard of that. The blogpost reads like a joke so I don't know if he's serious about it, but if he is I would like to read about people's experience on this technique compared to the Pomodoro one.

  ... ... It's a joke, doublestealth is a start-up satire blog, the subhead "The blog of (probably fictional) Brad Bradstone the CEO of (possibly non-existent) Yellow Yellow. Remember, this is a parody." sort of gives it away if you aren't familiar with it.

Why do all of these read like every internet scam ever? When all you do is hype and tease a specific piece of information (what is the pelko method?), only revealing it at the last second, all you do is insult the reader. Why link an entire article when quoting the last sentence would have sufficed?

      Don't worry, seems like we were a bunch thinking it was true. The idea didn't seem that "bad".
