One odd function of pomodoro timers is to viscerally demonstrate how little focused solo work is possible in a typical office environment. At Apple, 6 or 7 would be a very focused day! I felt guilty about this at first but then came to focus on using that time well.

I am curious how many minutes in 1 pomo for you? The standard 25 minutes?

I do 35m now, but reported in terms of 25m intervals, which is what I did until earlier this year.
You: Why switch from 25 to 35?
Me: To get more done.
You: But why not do more 25’s?
Me: No, no, no. See, everybody else does 25. I do *more* - ten more. Understand?
You: Yeah, makes sense... hey! What about programmable attention? How’s that going?
