My first exposure to Pomodoro was this thread so I looked it up.

>There are six steps in the original technique:

>Decide on the task to be done.

>Set the pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).

>Work on the task.

>End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.

>If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes), then go to step 2.

>After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

I can't believe anyone would religiously do this, it seems like something designed by de Sade.
