Results of the Use of Pomodoro Practice During The Course

I began to keep records of the completed Pomodoros only from the second chapter. Starting with the sixth, I changed the accounting format and began to write them to the ledger file for later analysis.

Initially, I used Pomodoro exclusively as a ritual to enter the role — headphones, music, timer start, and the process went. The fact that Pomodoro can be used for planning I guessed but did not use because I did not resort to planning. The fact that the completed Pomodoros can be used for analysis has not occurred to me.

I deliberately decided not to automate the Pomodoro timer binding to projects — recording a completed Pomodoro for me is a ritual to exit the role. Before that, it turned out too often that I continued to do work despite the nicknamed signal.

Unfortunately, the lack of a clear boundary between work and leisure (all the work I do right can be attributed to a hobby) does not allow me to take advantage of Pomodoro’s practice fully. When I switch between chats while discussing work and personal issues, reading articles, mail, and from time to time making something on work, the work advances. Although the timer is not started, on some days, I recorded zero completed Pomodoros. Sometimes it means I didn’t do anything. Sometimes not.

The average number of Pomodoros per day is three pieces (statistics for a month and a half). The duration of one Pomodoro is fixed — 35 minutes. Of the 140 Pomodoros included in the statistics, 60 are course completion. It does not mean that most of my time was spent on the course; this is just an activity that I could separate from everything else. Only 24 Pomodoros were invested in working projects for comparison; actually, much more time was spent.

Current plans are to continue as is. The calendar has a daily task, “at least one Pomodoro,” which I perform almost daily. The stage of setting the habit of using the instrument is still underway.
