Comment on The Rhythm of Work and Rest: How the Pomodoro Technique and Keeping Shabbat Have Improved my Editing by Natalie Hipp

I use the Pomodoro technique almost exclusively! I can’t seem to get anything accomplished without it. I even bought the official Tomato Timer on Amazon..

I guess my job description would primarily be web developer, but I handle all of the customer service for my sites, as well as deal with former clients and contractors, and the timing of this technique is fantastic for getting stuff done without feeling like your energy is zapped. It also reminds you to take breaks, which is awesome for when you do get involved in a huge project and forget that your legs need some circulation

Yes – love the crop rotation metaphor! Let me know if you try the technique – could be helpful for grading lots of papers!

Hila, thanks for this. I don’t yet use the Pomodoro technique—hadn’t heard of it until this post—but I have, at times in my life, used the Shabbat technique, and I wish I always did. Even when work is going wonderfully, you can work yourself into total breakdown if you don’t pause. It’s like crop rotation. Or a good rhythm, which needs to have rests.
