I’ve been trying it out recently to some degree of success, finding the right intervals was the hard part, 25-5 feels like absolute torture to me.

Is anyone else giving it ago?

I’ve found that it destroys my hyperfocus periods, which is the only time I’m actually able to be productive, so I stopped doing it.

I don’t know how people get anything done with constant interruptions. My brain does that enough already.

Maybe only using the pause timer would work. Once you start procrastinating, start the timer, allow yourself to do whatever but once the timer is done, back to work.
