Sometimes music helps me stay focused. I do have some days where I'm more distracted than others though! Interested in giving the pomodoro technique another go.

Hey Lynne,

Thanks for getting back! Yes I think music helps too, but I read a lot of docs lol so sometimes it gets a little noisy too. Yes I would definitely say give pomodoro another try. I'm on day two and i feel so much more productive 😃

Ah yeah, I agree it can be more distracting when reading! For coding, sometimes I'll choose music that has no lyrics, like film soundtracks or dance or something. I'll give the pomodoro technique a try today :) do you use a specific app or anything for it?

Thanks, I have thought about music-only tracks before - will give it a try. Yes, i have been using this extension. Its open source and does the trick. Do let us know how you get on.

Also, your link to the chrome extension was broken. Seemingly did to the registered trademark character, here:

Thanks for that suggestion. I'd been using tomtato-timer.com
