👉 First off, big thanks to my amazing husband who's been my firsthand glimpse into the world of ADHD. He has shown me time and time again how someone with ADHD can be incredibly productive and successful, even if that means that the way he works, studies and organises his tasks is completely different from mine. He's been super vocal about the need for a deeper dive into ADHD within the productivity scene, and I couldn't agree more. We've got to chat more about ADHD and how it intersects with our productivity tools and tips. Standard productivity methods are great and all, but they might not vibe with everyone. And that's ok. Especially when ADHD is in the mix, it's time we tweak these methods to fit better. Furthermore, ADHD isn't a one-size-fits-all deal. Everyone's journey is unique. So as we chat about adapting the Pomodoro method, keep in mind that what works for one person might need a twist for another. Let's keep the conversation open-minded, understanding, and flexible!
I agree with the comments! Working for 25 minutes and resting 5 minutes was never a good option for me. I don't have a diagnosis for ADHD, but I'm starting to relate a lot with experiences from diagnosed people. 25 minutes was never enough for me. I was never productive and I began to make the pomodoros longer, to skip breaks, and then I would feel fatigued in the middle of the next pomodoro, which made me feel frustrated. Even more when I found out that 5 min breaks were NEVER enough. This enlightened me so much. Thank you!!
In fact, if I take breaks from a task, I may forget what I was doing and get distracted by a new different task. I do have ADHD (inatentive type). So I may need a reminder of what I was doing before the break.
This is so validating! I might try to break things down by task chunks vs by time as long as it doesn't take me past 90 min. Might also try your idea with trying out different time chunks!
4:45 THANK YOU! I want to send this video to every person who has advised me to use this technique, so they might understand why I couldn't make it work.
Thanks for sharing this! Writing sprints are very popular in the author community but doing the traditional pomodoro method never works for me because of the fact it takes me at least 10-15 minutes and stopping every 25 minutes drives me crazy.
For me with ADHA, is best to work 1 or 1 and a half hours straight then a small time. Depends on how attractive the work can be, and the time I have to do it.
Wow!!!!!! I am amazed. This fills me with so much joy to watch your channel on learning and especially topic on ADHD and thr differences in learning. Brillant sounds very interesting.
Mariana teu conteúdo sempre me surpreende, assisti 10 vídeos sobre o assunto e o seu de longe foi o melhor, extremamente aprofundado, com referências e até um template no Notion, parabéns!
The part that I hate about pomodoro is the concept of a 5-minute break, you stand up & go to the bathroom & then you sit back down at your computer & start all over again… THAT’S A BREAK?!?! How does anyone feel satisfied, rested, or recharged from 5 minutes???? Every time I’ve tried this technique I felt like there’s something wrong with me because the breaks didn’t feel like breaks at all & they don’t feel like a reward when I thought that’s supposed to be the idea, push through work time & you get rewarded. Breaks are something I always struggle with though cuz once I start & actually enjoy a real break it’s very hard for me to pull myself back out & I procrastinate ending the break & resuming work, so I can’t figure out what the right time is, but it’s certainly NOT 5 minutes

Pomodoro has a tendency to ring right in the middle of a task
I know, right? 😩
