That is exactly what you do. While on first sight this seems like it'd impede flow, having everything in small chunks makes it much much easier to get back into

  Yes, my experience is similar. A typical task will take at least 3 or 4 pomodoro. There are few important aspects that contribute to being able to continue easily: - you know the Pomodoro ends at a specific time, so you can properly close, make notes, etc. - because you stop 'in the middle' you actually feel eager to get back to it. (contrary to normal breaks where you probably stopped because you didn't feel like working anymore) In general I believe it works because you rely less on flow. Flow is great, but it also comes and goes. If you can easily get into your flow and stay there for hours, you probably don't need this, but for those weeks when it doesn't come naturally, this can really work.
