yeeter 491 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Anyone here use pomodoro timers or something similar on the regular? If so what is your experience? Today is only Monday and my motivation for existing is already running low this morning so need a way to stay focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays if I wanna be productive I get as far away from bed as possible BillBurry and yeeter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noCap 13 Share Posted April 7, 2020 @yeeter01 I've always found myself not being able to focus longer than 50 minutes at a time. So I am on the 50-10 schedule for work. 50 minutes of work, 10 minute walk/break. While I understand this is incredibly inefficient purely from a time perspective, I seem to get more accomplished because I know at the end of the 50 minute stint I will be rewarded with a break. yeeter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been great at it, because I've been swamped with like 6 projects, but when I was doing it it worked pretty well. Whether it's cleaning, exercise, taking the dog out, just kinda somethin to take your mind elsewhere for a minute. yeeter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried doing it a bit this week and it seemed alright but to early to tell if its increasing productivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
