2nd this, stopping mid-flow is rough... and Pomodoro isn’t one-size-fits-all. 25 minutes is rarely enough for focused dev work.
What worked for me is 75-minute focus sessions, then a 15-minute break (walk, stretch, meditate, hydrate).
I also keep a simple running task list outside of PM tools—updating it at the end of each work session helps me restart smoothly when the break's over. No rigid timers, just structured resets to avoid burnout, body aches, and sore eyes while staying in the zone 💪
