How I work productively: including Getting Things Done, work environment, reliable backup, and working in sprints rather than marathons

Started using a new #Pomodoro desktop timer called Flowkeeper. It's GPL-3.0 licensed and cross-platform. I like how it is also a task manager.

I guess this is the #GitHub #Copilot version of a #Pomodoro timer...?

I’ve tried God knows how many time management techniques over the years, one of the few that has stuck is #pomodoro, over the last few months I’ve been using the oss app #solanum because #ijfw. Simple, little config, no fuss.

Time for a break

The last couple of days, I was out of office due to a bad case of the flu. I find it aways difficult to get back into work mode after being away.

It’s one of those moments when I need some extra help to get back into my workflows.

#Pomodoro and #coffee to the rescue!

How I use the #pomodoro method for my work, but not only.

J’aimerais acheter un mac d’occasion pour pouvoir tester l’app pour #pomodoro que je développe dessus https://github.com/vjousse/pomodorolm

Un conseil en terme de rapport qualité prix ? Pas besoin d’un foudre de guerre mais quand même un truc que je vais pouvoir garder un bout de temps et donc qui a un bon potentiel de prise en charge des futures versions de macOS !

Czy korzystasz z techniki Pomodoro?

The good stuff of 12 Feb 2025:
- applying pomodoro-with-notes again to ensure to concentrate on work. Every 25 min I note what I am doing at that very minute, then I stand and stretch or walk a bit, and back to next pomodoro. Catched myself procrastinating only once, and that was stopped as soon as I had to write it down.
- made a chicory oven dish that reconciled me with the vegetable
- only one side of crochet bubbles left on the shawl I'm making!

I've been using a neat little Pomodoro timer called focusTide for a week now.

I like it, so I figured other people might enjoy it too. Its free and open source uwu

https://focustide.app/

been testing the #pomodoro timer in my keyboard and it’s actually a nice reminder to take some regular breaks. only works if you don’t have to schedule it around meetings though

Marcin ‘mbork’ Borkowski about his version of #pomodoro which he calls #tomato: https://mbork.pl/2025-02-01_ketchup.el

Well, it sounds to me that the pomodoro method is not working for him for the same reasons it was not working for me - although I only tried for a brief period of time.

Marcin found some interesting variant. I would have declared this method non-functional for me instead.

Back to using Pomodoro timers to stay on track. Always work great, its just that for some reason I always stop using them. Anyway, I really like this one - https://pomofocus.io/. I just pin the tab with it running and listen for my timers to hit.
