I loooove this idea! I don't think I fully realized until reading this that the traditional pomodoro method doesn't always work great for me either, for the same reason! (25 minutes feels like an eternity when I'm setting out to do a dreaded/hard/boring/stressful task.) I'm about to give this a try!!
This is so helpful! I love the pomodoro method, but sometimes even 25 minutes is overwhelming, like you said! I like the idea of just starting with 5 minutes--totally manageable! Once I do get into the work, I struggle to stop--do you adhere pretty rigidly to the breaks if you are on a roll?
