Agreed. I normally use the two together. Basically plan what I need to do the night before (no more than 20 mins). During the day - shut off instant messenger and email (mostly drives my boss nuts) from 10am-1pm and 3pm-5pm and work on 50 minute work/ 10 minute break pomodoro intervals.

Helps immensely in getting code/math/design/docs/etc. done. I'll do this about 3 days of the week.

I like that idea. My colleague who block off work request between 11am to 1pm every day to work on an important project.

That project was not making much progress due to many work requests from different departments.

This method helps him to deliver the project.
