I’m still at the beginning, so I thought I could make it easier for the start. I work for 20 minutes, and then rest for 10. I often combine two Pomodoros (40 mins work, 20 mins rest). It might sound ridiculously little, but that’s the only way I manage to actually be productive and follow the schedule.
For now, I’m using it only for studying, but I will soon extend it to my other daily activities (reading, doing chores, writing my blog…).
