Micro-Pomodoros of 30 seconds can supercharge your workouts and boost productivity. Here’s how:
• I use a 30-second timer with 5-second breaks for all exercises. • This works great for:
- 10-15 reps of an exercise
- Counting breaths
- Holding yoga poses
For work, I use longer 30-minute Pomodoros. However, deep focus tasks often require 1-2 hour blocks.
The key is matching the timer to the task. Short bursts work best for exercise, while longer intervals suit complex work.
I use the Intervals Pro timer app on my watch. It’s a paid app, but the one-time cost is worth it for the productivity boost.
