Perhaps without realizing that, but essentially you've just described the Pomodoro Technique, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique :-)
It was also my technique for studying for exams through university: 45 minutes of focussed study, followed by a 15 minute break for tea, lunch or fun things. After six of those, I could stop knowing that I had a day well spent. (And as a bonus, I mastered 3-ball juggling after my Algebra-I exam ;-)

- bobisme 13y agoThanks, I was wondering why this page wouldn't compile.
- jschulenklopper 13y agoNo, no, doesn't matter. I was just making you aware that your technique also had a name.
- Valid 13y agoThey were just closing the open parenthesis, which cannot be closed with a smiley face. I actually appreciated your contribution, I've heard of that technique before, and remembered it when reading, but couldn't recall the name, so thanks :)
- celwell 13y agono, because pomodoro is when you have defined task that can completed in the allotted time.
- jschulenklopper 13y agoWell, although that rule could be useful, it is not part of the technique. For proof, read the official description on Pomodoro, e.g. on http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/download/pdf/ThePomodoroTechnique_v1-3.pdf http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/download/pdf/ThePomodoroTec.... You'll see (page 6-7) that after a first 'Pomodoro' (unit of time) work on the same task can continue into a second or third pomodoro.
