I have heard a lot about the pomodoro technique but never came around to actually try it. Maybe now is the time to give it a shot!

I think the third point you mentioned is a consequence of NOT following the rules of the pomodoro technique. The idea is to know when to stop. Not just while working, but in life in general! 😉

Yeah. I learn the Pomodoro technique from the Coursera course Learning How to Learn. They said that sometimes we associate certain activities with previous bad experiences. And we try to avoid those activities, if you use this technique you will be thinking about setting the clock and concentrate instead on the task itself. It works in that way for me.

Have you tried Pomodoro yet how are you finding it? I have been using the app Tick Tick for Pomodoro.
