5. Sometimes when you have just 30 seconds left on your Pomodoro you start blasting away on your keyboard like you're one of those hackers in the movies. It makes you realize how much you can do in 30 seconds.



I've actually started to do 5 minute pomodoros. It's insane, but also a lot of fun. Especially when pair programming it's great because you can start discussing an issue and suddenly you look at your timer and think, "Woah... 30 seconds just went by. Let's just try it one way. We can change it later if we want". I also write down what I've done at the end of the 5 minute pomodoro. If it is "nothing", then it's a good flag to say that I have a problem.
