Does anyone out there in the Twitterverse regularly achieve a > 2/3 ratio of Pomodoro-time to nominal-total-working-time? If so, I would love to hear about your approach and about the nature of your work!

I think it was Keynes who observed that he couldn't possibly do more than 5 hours of intense creative work per day, and that only for short stretches. Given what JMK achieved, I suspect it's not a bad target. (Ditto Poincare: 4 hours).

I'm pretty non-uniform, in that I can work nonstop for a day or two (~20 productive hours) but then I take a full day or two off. I've only recently been practicing my scheduling more - usually 6 productive hours a day is my max. I'm a grad student at BUSM.

You should ask people *not* on Twitter (for Twitter is a bad distraction).

I was once able to sustain a stretch of 60-80% for a few weeks during which
a) I was actively tracking the percentage;
b) I was working on a project where I knew exactly what I planned to build, and just had to code it; and,
c) I was working alone, not blocked on anyone

One important consequence of tracking the percentage was that I would leave work in the afternoon *immediately* as soon as I started getting distracted. Do not pass go. No pretending to work. Turn off the damned computer and go rest / eat / relax / do other projects.

has helped me achieve that in the past ssqt.co/mQdDGZn
I set the timer for the pomodoro interval and then used my watch or another app for the break (for improved notifications)
