what do you during your breaks? This I think is the greatest pitfall for me. Get up and walk around? I usually find that I just want to go back to work once I let my mind wander.
I check email, read a bit on info relevant to other projects, take a snack or bathroom break, do some typing practice, daydream, etc. It’s just about shifting your focus away from the main project and doesn’t necessarily have to be an unproductive task.

Yeah it's great. Although I love the automated approach of fixed intervals in which you ideally focus on being productive. With scheduled breaks inbetween. I find this takes the friction out of starting that first pomodoro as you have the system already in place.
