The break is to allow you to mentally “regroup”. For longer tasks you string Pomodoros together. If it will take more than 5 Pomodoros then you need to break that task up.

If it’s a small task then you can look over your activity list and combine like tasks to fit into 1 Pomodoro. Or you can just include that simple task with another task.

GTD takes care of what I need to do, and Pomodoro Technique helps me get it done!

They fit perfectly together, and part of the review of a GTD system can be to look at the pomodoro’s it is taking you to complete tasks, then try and workout how to improve the timing/quality of your work.

I turned a 4 day, 32 hour project into a series of 25 min sessions with 5 min breaks and long breaks every 2 hours. Completely works for me!!!!!

I do have common sense and I know what needs to be done now and get it done, I think most people do. I also think sooner or later I’ll be ‘forced’ along with my co-workers, to attend one of these programs.

When you have an open-ended amount of time to work on something, you don’t focus as well as you would with a set time. If 25 mins is too long — start with 15 and work your way up. No reason why you can’t do that.
