The Pomodoro Technique 1

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 80s. The method is based on 25-minute stretches of focused work broken by five-minute breaks. Then, after four consecutive work intervals, you take a longer break, which is often 15 to 30 minutes.
I just learned about this and find it appealing. I can get a lot done in 25 minutes when I do not interrupt myself. During the short breaks I can see myself doing some planks, stretching, or watching a favorite music video. The longer break can be eating a meal or doing the dishes. I guess I like structure . . .
any thoughts?

this is reasonably disciplined.
more reasonable than outright slavery and then rest on the seventh day.
but tripping once every week makes sense too.

Would be an interesting experiment.
I largely make my own schedule. I tend to alternate between clerical and physical as they are like taking breaks from each other. I can work 12 hours a day doing things this way, taking non-work breaks of course, to relax or eat.

I should state that there's only a couple hours of clerical work in a day, which is how I like it.
I started in the HVAC business as an installer. This typically meant showing up at the work site and being there the whole day except for a lunch break. It was hard work but I would get home and take a shower and I felt great. I showed some aptitude and trained as a service technician. A job averaged probably around 30 minutes. Driving from one job to the other could take 30-60 minutes. That's at least half the day sitting in a van and the work was often easy. But when I would get home I felt tired and the more I did it the worse it got. I hated it.

I've always loved and used this technique, both personally and professionally, for years now.
