I tried doing strict Pomodoro for a while and I think it's good to get the ball in motion and get "busy work" done and out of the way, but if you want to do serious work, it completely breaks flow. I don't see anyone doing serious work following the Pomodoro method.

I use it to get my morning started. After 1 session I'm in flow and ready to rock. That's when I kick into Deep Work and give myself a reward after a real project is complete.
