I actually really enjoyed pomodoro as a forced focus tool, not for task switching.
I was not doing the 30-5 x 4 routine but like a 30 - 30 routine that let me take breaks but kept me focused for 4 hours total. Better than analysis paralysis that prevented me from working on things at all some days.
I eventually stopped using it as I moved on to more hectic jobs that don’t really afford any consistent structure, but I think artifical constraints like pomodoro can work some times if you lean into them.
