so far, pomodoro is working like reverse psychology
it's like "hey Sara great job awesome, take a lil break now!"
and I'm like "did this fuckn tomato just tell me what to do? why I oughta"

Yes this is also me
I find productivity techniques work really well for me... for some amount of time and then this becomes me.
I stuck with Beeminder for years and just can't get back into it. I had a great scheduling system that lasted months and now, nope it's awful.
No idea why.

Trying to get to the bottom of this too. For me, it happens when it's just too hard to see how the task list connects to my life in any meaningful way. Like it tells me my highest priority is X, but it sure doesn't feel like that at the moment.

The artificiality of deadlines, manually determined priorities and statuses and all that ... and when I get to that state it's a struggle between doing what I had earlier determined to be my priority, and doing what I decide is my priority now

i went through several cycles of this also. they all became like... stale eventually? it became increasingly clear that they weren’t what i actually wanted or something. the way i was using them involved a lot of self-coercion that generated bad feels too

when ${productivity_technique} is working well, you're getting things done, excited to use it again and get more things done but eventually if tricky things pile up in a backlog, suddenly same ${productivity_technique} can develop an ugh field, which usually breaks it

Sadface! (Well, not too sad, "stuck with Beeminder for years" is a pretty solid endorsement.) We'd be grateful to understand the blockers better, on getting back on the wagon.

So would I! I'd love to start using it again but it seems to be some combination of emotional block on using it and no longer having quite such easily beeminder shaped problems / so much willingness to make my problems fit beeminder

I think this is why my second brain systems tend to atrophy. It's also why I am currently prioritising my first brain.
