Going further, I'm starting to get the feeling that the pomodoro technique is becoming too hip for its own good. I find it easier to follow my own flow than try to manipulate it with intense time management.
I lack self-discipline and most of my productivity occurs between the time I achieve flow and the time the flow ends. Yet, whenever I have tried the pomodoro technique, I felt it did little to get me to do stuff I did not want to; and when I did begin doing something, I found the idea of taking a break every x minutes annoying when I am super into something.
I guess Pornodoro technique is not a fit for those who want to keep on working without interruption once they get in the groove. Doesn't mean it is good or bad.
- nhangen 16y agoI'm sure it's a worthy technique - my complaint is just that it's often prescribed as a blanket one size fits all solution rather than something that might be more fitting. Maybe I'm just tired of hearing about it and I'm being cranky :)
