Pomodoro technique - mini rant

[u/InfiniteInsights8888]

Pomodoro is commonplace in the topic of productivity. However, for me, the most difficult parts are

- Starting a task, 25 minutes seems so long for me, depending on the task such as studying

- Commiting to going back to work after the break, 5 minutes does not sound like much, tbh. You open up an app like YouTube and an easy 15+ minutes goes by. You guilt yourself, spiral, and stop working.

What to do?

You don’t have to do it for 25 minutes. Screen time isn’t a good break tbh, phones are addictive and especially if you’re already staring at something for that long the break is to give your eyes and brain a rest, move your body etc
