- gcv 17y agoI looked at the Pomdoro site, and I'm intrigued. I don't understand something, though. How does it work with programming? First of all, programming tasks defy time planning, as the next unplanned time-sinking bug or unforeseen difficulty always waits just around the corner. Second, when you are in the zone, a timer going off every 25 minutes will just cause aggravation.
- Feeble 17y agoYou can look at it as an agile process. You don't model your whole project at once, but when you start a Pomodoro you commit to working focused for 25 minutes. When the time is up you can prioritize differently or make a push on an unplanned item. Also, I totally agree on your in-the-zone statement. I currently only use Pomodoro when I am having a slow day and I don't want to let the procrastination get the best of me. When I am in the zone I don't need Pomodoro to help me! =)
