When it comes over and over and over again, because it works so damn well. And it is something that has absolutely changed my life. It's so damn good that I actually put it into my book. There's an entire section where I talk about the Pomodoro technique. But really, what? And you give yourself 25 minutes to work on it, and you only can do that thing for 25 minutes, and then you take five minutes off. Let's say that you're creating a big presentation, though, for something that you have to do at work tomorrow, and you know it's going to take you longer than 25 minutes. Well, then what you're trying to do is work that for 25 minutes, take 5 minutes off, continue working on it for 25 minutes, take 5 minutes OFF until that presentation is completed.
