Pomodoro timers just don't fit how I work
I gave the Pomodoro technique a go to boost my focus. Everyone online acts like it's the best thing ever. But for me, that timer going off every 25 minutes is a huge distraction. I was fixing a tricky bug in some code, totally in the zone, when the alarm sounded. It snapped me out and I had to start over from scratch. Now I'm actually getting less done because I keep getting interrupted. Maybe this hack is only good for simple tasks.
