My Pomodoro Statistics Since I have started using the pomodoro technique, I have accumulated 59 days of data. I mostly use the technique for work, but I sometime use it for personal use when tasks require a lot of concentration. I’m still analyzing it, but I now know that I perform a daily average of 9.82 pomodoros as well as having a daily average 3.43 internal interruptions and a daily average of 1.70 external interruptions. Seeing the data on a chart made me realized that I’m pretty bad at planning pomodoros. My consolation is at least that I have the data recorded. Remember, you cannot improve it, if you cannot measure it. The next steps for me are to: Increase my daily average of completed pomodoros to 10. Align the number of planned pomodoros (red line) as much as possible with the completed pomodoros (blue line). Reduce the number of pomodoros that were not planned for a given task (orange line) and reduce it to one or two if possible.

My Pomodoro Statistics

Since I have started using the pomodoro technique, I have accumulated 59 days of data. I mostly use the technique for work, but I sometime use it for personal use when tasks require a lot of concentration.

I’m still analyzing it, but I now know that I perform a daily average of 9.82 pomodoros as well as having a daily average 3.43 internal interruptions and a daily average of 1.70 external interruptions.

Seeing the data on a chart made me realized that I’m pretty bad at planning pomodoros. My consolation is at least that I have the data recorded. Remember, you cannot improve it, if you cannot measure it.

The next steps for me are to:

  1. Increase my daily average of completed pomodoros to 10.
  2. Align the number of planned pomodoros (red line) as much as possible with the completed pomodoros (blue line).
  3. Reduce the number of pomodoros that were not planned for a given task (orange line) and reduce it to one or two if possible.

The Pomodoro Technique is a focus management technique that is easy to learn and yet very effective. More details here.
