Some days I used to really struggle to focus on a single task. I discovered Pomodoro through a friend and have been using it ever since.

I do not use a task list, but rather for 25 minutes I work on my story focusing on just that. Then I take a 5 minute break. After 2 hours I take a longer break, (first one is lunch, second one is 30 minutes, third one is 15 and then after another hour I go home)

It works very well for me. I am happy with my output. Some days, I have to abandon Pomodoro to instead have a meeting during that time slot, or other times I am just less productive Than I would like. It is a good baseline to help keep me focused.

Do you use any hardware or software with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique ? Or just your watch?
