I never got into a place the 10 minutes a day would really help me accomplish anything. I do know it is possible, one day I would like to replicate something like [1], splitting a work-weeks worth of work into several months of pomodoro a day. It kinda worked when I was attempting to write a blog, but even then I never really figured out how to make the routine stick and often it took me half of the designated time to even start writing. This time-to-start was even worse when programming. Well, one day! [1] https://mikekchar.github.io/core-wars-kata/ https://mikekchar.github.io/core-wars-kata/

I try to take inspiration from this article: https://fs.blog/2018/06/succeed-at-work/ https://fs.blog/2018/06/succeed-at-work/ I think a 15-minute resolution is more reasonable than a 10-minute resolution. If you assume that you allocate each block to a unique activity that means doing six different things per hour instead of doing only four things in the same timeframe. There's nothing stopping you from using four blocks in a row for an activity, or two, or three, but the minimum amount of time to spend on something is 15 minutes which I think is more worthwhile than 10 minutes. The only downside is it doesn't let you do two pomodoro blocks per hour, if that's something you want to incorporate into your routine.
