For example, if you have a lunch in the middle of one group, and want to start fresh when you get back, you have to manually pretend you did the rest of the first group. First, the inability to quickly restart a “group” of pomodoro timers. So, the app is largely good, but a few small issues really detract from the overall effectiveness and quality of the app. But it's really interesting the mind games I have played in the past, where I let myself get distracted in the middle of important tasks by things I "really have to do." Now, when the challenge is on, all of that stuff waits until I've done at least 8 sessions, sometimes as many as 12. I find it funny how I entertain myself with this. And the more sessions I do in a row, the more the challenge is on to do even more sessions. Then it's break time and I say "Screw it-I'm on a roll." So I end up doing anywhere from 4 to 8 sessions in a row, with no breaks except bathroom and pour a cup of coffee. I only use it for tasks that need heavy focus. Here's how it has craftily gotten more work out of me. End result is that I get way more done than before I started using it. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much more focused I am when using it, as it forces me to commit and stay on task. I really didn't think I needed an app like this, as I'm fairly focused normally-or so I thought! After a successful friend raved about it, I figured I could at least give it a try. ![]()
