A more structured way of working

Useful for people who don't like the constrained working limit of 25 minutes for instance.

Whilst researching for different ways to use pomodoro 1 on Emacs 2, I came across this package titled: pomm.el. In this package it had an interesting feature called pomm-third-time3. The ideology behind is as follows:

  • You work as long as you want.
  • Your break is calculated using the formula: Time of break = 1/3 x Time of work.
  • If you take a shorter break, the remaining break time is accumulated and added to the next break (within the same session).
