Unfortunately, this sounds dreadful and yet completely plausible. Pomodoros, or taking short breaks every once in a while, really are useful for avoiding stretching out tasks, though.
- atdrummond 4y agoFunnily enough, the end time doesn’t work for the standard “25 minutes on, 5-10 minutes off” Pomodoro standard. Even with the max 10 minutes off, that’s only 5:10 PM. Maybe I’m not keyed in but is a 28 minute lunch normal? I guess 25 on and 12 off gives 5:38 precisely. Interesting.
- As_You_Wish 4y agoOh, Pomodoros is a thing? I thought a Pomodoros was one of those little dogs, I guess that is Pomoranian, but that's what my mind went to. So I thought that was some kind of cynical remark like dog years, but short Pomorian dog cycles that dogs have during the day that I didn't know about. Just some throw-away remark by the author that it was measured by some dog cycle that I didn't know about. Arf.
- vario 4y agoi already shrunk back inwards at the mention of 14 pomodoros.
