Can you help me?

I’ve come up with an innovation of Pomodoro technique, especially for people with ADHD. I invite you to rate it, try it and suggest improvements. Then our host, Numo, can take note, and if we’re lucky, implement it in the app xD. In the post thread, I’ll outline the phases so you can contribute to each one. Instead of being tied to rigid time intervals, like the traditional 25-minute Pomodoro, here we’ll talk about ‘Activity Blocks.’ Here’s how it works:

I do 13-3. 13 minutes work then break for 3 times four times (for those of you that don’t know the Pomodoro technique). On my break when I try to do something fun, it makes me have to rush and it kind of makes it like a game and it helps.

So, where it says “10-min break every 4 blocks of 10 min”; is that saying every 40 min, I should take a 5 min walk, eat a 3 min snack and breath for 3 min? Just making sure that I’m following.

2-Minute Breaks between 10-Minute Blocks: 1. Deep Breathing: Dedicate 1 minute to perform deep and slow breaths. This can help relax the mind and body. 2. Quick Stretches: Perform simple and gentle stretches for 1 minute. This can help alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation. 10-Minute Breaks Every 4 Blocks of 10 Minutes: 1. Mini Walk: Allocate 5 minutes for a short walk in a nearby area. Gentle physical activity can help revitalize the mind. 2. Healthy Snack: Have a small, healthy snack like fruits, nuts, or yogurt for 3 minutes. This will provide sustained energy. 3. Breathing and Meditation: Use 2 minutes to practice meditation or mindfulness. This can help reduce stress and enhance concentration. 1-Hour Break after 3 Sets of (4 Blocks of 10 Minutes + 2-Minute Break): 1. Lunch or Meal: Spend 20-30 minutes enjoying a balanced and nutritious meal. This will recharge your physical and mental energy. 2. Short Exercise: Engage in a brief 10-15 minute exercise, such as light stretches, gentle yoga, or a brisk walk. This helps maintain energy and focus. 3. Active Rest: Dedicate 10-15 minutes to engage in a relaxing yet enjoyable activity, such as reading, listening to soothing music, or taking a short nap. 4. Hydration: Drink water throughout the break to stay hydrated and alert. 5. Positive Visualization: Take 5 minutes to visualize your goals and remind yourself why you’re doing this work. This can help maintain motivation.
