Is 32 pomodoros equal to 32*25 = 800 minutes (13h 20m)?

A pomodoro is four 25 minute sessions with a 5 minute break between each session. One "pomodoro" takes 2 hours to complete.

  That makes 32x25x4 = 3200 minutes (53h 20m), which is a significant amount of time for focused work.

    You're telling me! On top of that I was doing the various agile meetings too, it was a lot. Normally I do 3-5 pomodoros a day; one early in the morning, one to three during the day, then one late at night after the wife has gone to bed. I don't really take days off, so that ends up working out to a pretty decent clip, all things considered.

      That's an incredible pace, especially not taking any days off. When I do so, I lose my sense of time. I feel like, I've been working forever. I have to switch to a different task for at least a day to recover. Do you have to maintain a certain sleep schedule or do you happen to naturally find it easy to work at this pace? How could I train myself to work as intensely?

        Last week was rough, but generally it's not bad to do 3 pomodoros every day and usually I'm rolling during the day so it's fine to slip in the 4th. Same with the evenings, and then I'll get 5 in which is a very productive day. Normally it doesn't really require any less sleep or even that much less time spent doing other things, I think the trick is working every day.

  "Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as pomodoros. After about four pomodoros, you take a longer break of about 15 to 20 minutes." https://www.themuse.com/advice/take-it-from-someone-who-hates-productivity-hacksthe-pomodoro-technique-actually-works#:~:text=Using%20this%20method%2C%20you%20break,instills%20a%20sense%20of%20urgency https://www.themuse.com/advice/take-it-from-someone-who-hate....
