I’ve never gotten on with the Pomodoro technique. 25 minutes is just not enough for me to get deep enough into a task. But it’s good that it works for some people.

I do agree that when you read you should take your time to understand things fully.

This morning I went to my son’s school where the teachers in his new form explained what they will be covering. Fluency in reading was key. It’s not about just reading but if the child can’t understand what they’re reading then it is not fluency.

Thank you for reading Selda!

Yeah, the 25 minute pomodoro being too short is a common issue. For me it works well, especially for longer days of work.

Sometimes things just get a little more competitive than they should. Some become too focused on posturing, to their detriment. Being told understanding is paramount is one thing, but internalizing it is another.

I agree, 25 minutes don’t work for me either, especially with flow state.

But the regular breaks are still important - even if I am more of the 90 minutes person 😂

Thanks so much for mentioning my Postcards ☺️ really glad you enjoy them so much!

Great piece on learning! I love the quote. The involving and doing things myself is the greatest teacher for me for sure!
