That's weird, I posted something similar today after postive experiences using the pomodoro technique - http://www.minklinks.com/weblog/2010/11/16/countering-procrastination-keeping-focused-and-ripe-juicy-tomatoes/ http://www.minklinks.com/weblog/2010/11/16/countering-procra... (original HN submission here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1910005 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1910005) I haven't tried GTD. My experience so far with pomodoro has basically helped in two areas: focus and distraction. I'm finding that I'm much more focused on the task at hand (and have usually planned it) with pomodoro. I'm also more aware of my distractions. That's not to say that I don't get interrupted, but that I handle it a lot more efficiently. As for things such as maintaining interest, I'm not sure if that's a goal with pomodoro, but it's too early for me to tell.
