I’m slowly realizing that one of my biggest mistakes is making my pomodoros 90 minutes in length. It worked for a bit, but then it became overwhelming to think that I’d be stuck for that long in each session. The standard 25 minutes isn’t enough to get momentum when coding. I will try 45 minute sessions this week.

I know what you mean. Funny enough, I settled on 45 mins., because this was/is how long a single class lasts at schools in my home country.

I just put to use a habit built long time ago.

They do that because human focus on a single task wanes after ~50-60 min.

45 minutes is the best for me. Long enough to get in the flow and short enough to not be lost in the flow.
