- Start a stop watch or simple wrist watch and leave it on your desk.
- If you glance at it and it is less than 25 minutes, keep going.
- Else if it is over 25 minutes, take a break if you feel like it. Write down how much time you worked. At the end of day, add up your time.
- Brajeshwar 2y agoSimilar story with me. I started with Pomodoro and I can live with it but wanted something more flexible. I relied on the idea of timers, but without a hard break or a loud noise demanding me to break my flow. In fact, a physical hourglass timer helped me build up a habit. Now, I don't even use it and have tuned to taking regular breaks without fixed 'Pomodoros'. I wrote something in that line of thought at https://brajeshwar.com/2023/timer/ https://brajeshwar.com/2023/timer/
- koshergweilo 2y agoI've never heard of this method, sounds like a great way to stay in the flow state without burning out
