I agree, having the right priorities and a sense and constancy of purpose is key for a life that is more than asking yourself and other people what you are going to do this weekend. It follows that if you keep your priorities straight, most of your efforts will be directed toward those priorities and won't be in vain. However, that is a neverending struggle against the desires of other people, society, and, ultimately, entropy. Personally, I never used any pomodoro, GTDs etc., and I have been pretty successful in my personal and professional life. I think keeping your priorities straight is difficult enough and I trust that if I am successful there, everything else will fall into, more or less, the right place. Let me add an example. Sports and physical activity have always been very important to me, in part because of my personality and in part because I believe prowess in both physical and intellectual activities make the person I aspire to be every single day. It means that, apart from once-a-year exceptions, 6 pm Mondays and Wednesdays are training time. Conflicts? I know where my priorities are and everything else will fall into place.
