Pomodoro has 2 secrets:

1. You don't have to stop when the timer is up. The timer is really a forcing function to get you into the zone. When you're being productive, keep going!

2. You can adapt it to longer intervals if that better fits your day and schedule - plan for 50min work and 10min breaks?

1. Is a bad advice. If you don’t take breaks then your brain will stop trusting the structure and it is effectively useless then. The point of pomodoro is that it’s a promise to your brain, that if you focus now for 25, then you’ll have a break for 5 after.
