Pomodoro is for people who can't focus for hours. The idea is to break it to smaller chunks. Your advice doesn't work for people that can't focus for hours, which is the exact crowd that chooses Pomodoro over this common corporate style of long hours of work and then breaks that you're describing.

For me, standing up to stretch for 5-10 seconds every 7 minutes works for me.

But I've NEVER seen anybody recommend anything like this.

[diegorubio]

So its the same thing, you just do it longer

[iggyfresh]

Pomodoro is beneficial for ppl who cant focus and need commitment. If u have commitment and great focus pomodoro isnt as efficient for u.

The whole concept is based on periods of productivity and rest. If people don't have the sense to adapt timings that suits them, then productivity is not their biggest challenge 😂

So you start with the pomodoro then repeat till you get into a workflow where you can then disregard breaks

[LeonPolve]

don't use the pomodoro technique, use the pomodoro technique instead

[SigandGibbs]

This is just the Pomodoro technique stretched out with a bigger time block...

[berriiberriii]

lol this is a prank. it must be. you got me Alex. You trolled me for sure. Good job!

[Pileza]

I end up doing 30/10 or something...or I'll break for longer and get distracted by something silly. Then it'll never get done. But if i don't take breaks i end up just staring at my work 😭. Not a clue what to do now! Help!

[ikaayla]

well, there's one exact pomodoro vid that I know they gave you a time to prepare.

[MegaAwesomeAnnie]

Loooong, loooong.... Pomodoro instead then?

[elie]

So basically the way corpo structured it which is really not a technique at all
