Admittedly I&#x27;ve never tried it, but from the description, the pomodoro technique would drive me mad. It often takes me more than 20 minutes (sometimes an hour or two!) to get &quot;in the zone&quot; but once I&#x27;ve got my head in the game I can smash through work for hours. The idea of just getting some flow going and then being interrupted seems awful. The only thing I can think of which it really sounds good for is boring, easy tasks that I have to do but really don&#x27;t want to.<p>What makes it so good? Obviously it works for a lot of people.
