The Pomodoro Remote Remix

The classic Pomodoro technique — 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off — gets a remote-work upgrade. Stretch it into longer focus blocks with real movement breaks.

During breaks, leave your desk entirely. Walk, stretch, or step outside. The physical transition resets your attention far better than scrolling your phone at your desk. After a few blocks, take a longer break for lunch or exercise.

The one rule the remix adds: end the last block at a fixed time, not whenever the final message lands.
