For you other folks that do this. How many Pomodoro's do you do a day?

  See this discussion - there seems to be some consensus that 10 pomodori per day is very good. This matches my experience as well. https://www.quora.com/How-many-pomodoros-do-people-fit-in-a-day-on-average-It-would-be-good-if-you-could-specify-your-work-conditions-as-well https://www.quora.com/How-many-pomodoros-do-people-fit-in-a-...

  I have struggled with initializing a strong habit. Except for pomodoroing for cleaning. I average 1-2 pomodoro per week and it's used only for cleaning my apartment. I have never been successful for doing it for work or side projects or anything else. I am probably the least successful pomodoro example thou. /shrug

  Ouch. Pomodoros do make you honest. When I first started experimenting with it, I though to myself: my work day is 8 hours, so I should expect ~15-16 pomodoros; say 14 if I take a lunch break. Between stress, interruptions and procrastination, reality turned out to be more like 5-8. These days I assume that a good, practical goal to aim for (at work) is as many pomodoros as you have working hours.

  I aim for a hard maximum of 12 pomodoros, or however many fewer than that it takes me to complete what I have planned for the day. If I hit 12, I move the remaining tasks to a different day. Six hours of good focused work is about all I can manage in a day. I do most of the pomodoros in the morning between 8 and 12:30, when I take an hour break. The afternoon is usually just finishing things off or preparing for the next day.
