I've added it to a todo-list! Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions!

It's free ("buy" button there is just to motivate people to leave feedback, i. e. on click there is a message "it's free! to download please submit the form"). I'll remove it as it doesn't work (7 submissions per 1.5k visits).

Even a cent will be an overprice for a blank sheet with pomodoro images, I guess. But if I'll be able to ship a really good quality (including downloading multi-page PDF, per-week planners for the whole year, etc.), then charging a buck or two will have some sense.

Thanks!

It's free.

On the "buy" button click there is a message to leave feedback/suggestions to download.

I thought it'll be a great idea to motivate people to post their ideas. Counting numbers, it's not: only 7 form submissions for 1.5k visits.

>that once you've checked off all the pomodoros ... the task is supposed to be done

Not really. I manage tasks in a todo manager (Trello), pomodoros are just for time tracking (100h+ working hours per month, 6h+ per working day, so it's 200/12 in a 30-minute pomodoros). It really helps to estimate my progress and schedule stuff, planning free days, limiting working hours not to burn out, etc. Or at least it works for me.

Thank you very much for all your points and suggestions, all of them have sense and are helpful! I really do appreciate it.

Common sense is not so common.

But I should admit, I do have problems with it (Ray Dalio's "Principles" and daily meditation helps, though, at least I can see some progress).

Thanks!

Thanks, man! Now I see what I did wrong. Considering my personal approach and ignoring actual users needs was a mistake. Luckily, it could be fixed. Lesson learned!

Oh, thanks! That way I'll sleep well today :3

To track actual time I use Pomodoro timer for Linux, https://gnomepomodoro.org/ and so far so good ^_^ Thanks for mentioning it (not sure if I'll move to another domain, though.)

Yes, you're completely right, it's just a beta/MVP. I was looking for feedback to proceed. And now, thanks to all of you, I have it.

In the end, I want to generate any type of calendar available on Etsy (and over the Internet), not just a blank sheet with a bunch of pomodoros and a background as a premium feature, lol.

Thank you!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Used it in the same manner for some time, but it didn't work for me.

What works for me is separating tasks (in Trello) and time tracking (on paper! DeskTime/RescueTime didn't work for me as well, I've used it for quite a while as well).

And I'm sure I'm not alone (not so sure now, though).

In todo (in trello, huh) there is a task to record a video to describe my approach... I guess I should make it asap!

Thank you for the feedback! It really means a lot.

Actually, it's free. It's just a way (dumb one, I guess) to motivate people to leave feedback.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique You should try it. Chances are, it may work for you as well. This technique really helped me a lot.

This kind of planners are quite popular, actually, e.g. on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/search?q=pomodoro%20planner

In a nutshell, I have my personal limit in working hours, at least 100h/per month, and 6h/day for a working day. Each pomodoro is 30 minutes long ("classic" is 25, but I make it 30 so it'll be easy to count).

With this planner I can track my productivity and easily schedule my work, on average it's 6 pomodoros before lunch, and 6 after. I do understand that it's my comfortable limit to do my best, otherwise working hours will not be so productive.

Also, I'm a freelancer, so I have no working days nor weekends. With this planner I can easily manage how much I should work more during this month. Say, in the first 10 days I've filled 50% of pomodoros working hard without a single break. Hooray! I can take a 5-days weekend!

So, yes, it's just the way I use it. And the final goal with this tool is to meet all people needs (i. e. adding more settings, so far I've added only those I've needed).

Thanks for the reply! I've got your point.

Nice point! I've added it to my todo (Trello ^_^). Thank you!

Any feedback would be appreciated!
