Creating deadlines for work is not revolutionary, original, or insightful even if you give it a cute name. I used to use 45 minute intervals when I used to procrastinate projects. These intervals would be split up into 15|15|15 minute goals and then again into 5|5|5 when necessary. I'm not gonna call myself a genius, give it a cool name, or write a blog post about it because organizing one's time in such a simplistic manner is just not a big deal.
- prawn 11y agoIf someone says Pomodoro technique, then I know what they're talking about after two words (one if they're not Italian). It's effective for people discussing it and similar practices. It gives people something concise to search for if they're looking for an app supporting the technique. It benefits people who didn't think to try it themselves (99% of the population). If there's a problem with blog posts like this one (and especially so for ebooks) it's that they'll feel a need to justify a cost/article by rambling at length when 5-10 bullet points would suffice. Maybe that's what you're unhappy about. But the problem is not with discussing or coining a name for a method. Countless 'cutely named' methods have been successful in part because of their names, e.g. Crossfit, 7 Minute Workout, 4 Hour Work Week, Five and Two Diet, Paleo Diet, etc.
