25 + 5, Pomodoro productivity technique

I'm doing this thing where you work for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. The idea is that you focus better by breaking your work time up with short breaks.

At first, I was alarmed by how quickly that 5 minute break went by. I didn't have time to make a cup of coffee, let alone drink it.

After a couple of days, however, I'm totally into my writing again and I'm more concerned with how quickly that 25 minutes goes by than the 5 minute break. My focus has very pleasantly shifted.

Then get back to work.
