Implement Pomodoro with tweaks for deep work and review.

The Pomodoro Technique uses focused intervals typically 25 minutes followed by short breaks to sustain attention. Customize interval length to match task complexity—longer blocks for deep problem solving, shorter for review. Use breaks for movement or brief relaxation, not social media. Track completed Pomodoros to estimate effort and plan future sessions. Combine with a clear task list to maximize each interval.
