win on May 17, 2010 From your statement Pomodoros rlaegnley work best when we have energy to concentrate , I think you're looking at Pomodoros as a way to keep on task for creative tasks like coding or writing where it can be hard to get started but you reap a great benefit from a time of focusing on the task. I think they can also be useful for less thinking-intensive tasks where you just need to work and where thinking can interrupt and derail you e.g. cleaning, washing dishes, yard work, painting walls things that don't require a lot of brain power. When doing these types of mindless work, my brain idles off onto other tracks. My brain comes up with many things that would be more fun and interesting, and sometimes my brain tells me they're urgent too (but they're not usually actually urgent). I think that setting a Pomodoro for this type of work where you don't need to be creative but you do need to just get it done and getting it done is much easier without interrupting yourself with distractions would work well. I can clean bathrooms or dust of vacuum for 25 minutes, THEN have a break. Although I'm thinking I'll need to set a reminder beep (watch, cell phone) to let me know when my break is up and it's time to tackle the next chore.
