Why do you CRIMP?

Dr Andus, I concur about the length of the Pomodoro being rather subjective, and indeed mine too is probably longer than 25’. At the same time I find that the Pomodoro is an acceptable minimum and that there’s a significant amount of potential diversions that can occur within that period—especially given my proneness to mind wondering. Using my timer (GTD Timer) has helped me restrain my tendency to respond to external stimuli when working.

Recording time is indeed eye-opening; in the past I’ve used a convenient free/donationware application, MapleXp http://www.maplexp.com/

I’d be happy to try your reverse Pomodoro software whenever you make it :-)
