The part of pomodoro that's supposed to help you start is the limited time period. Many people find it much easier to undertake something if they know it's only for 25 minutes. If 25 minutes still seems daunting, by all means pick a lower number.
- itronitron 3y agoThis is why I have never even considered pomodoro. Only being able to work on something for 25 minutes for me means it's not worth starting in the first place.
- egypturnash 3y agoThe idea's not that you're done for good when the 25min are up. You just take a break. Then you come back to it for another 25min. Maybe you do this for the entire day, maybe you do this a couple times for an entire week. Or longer, I've had projects that stretch over a couple of years, that I rarely spent more than 1-3 hours of any particular day on. In practice I'll happily ignore the "take a 5 min break" part of the Pomodoro method but I definitely take real breaks every hour or two.
- RandallBrown 3y agoI don't think there's any reason you can't just continue the task you've been working on.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoTakes a good half hour to get back into what you're doing in my experience. You may get something done in that period, but it's not quality.
- funcDropShadow 3y agoOn the contrary, when I walk around my home in those small pomodoro breaks, I often have similar small epiphanies that people describe when going to the coffee machine in the office.
