As you all know, I’m a big fan of a the Pomodoro Technique. Recently, while catching up on my backlog of Jack Cheng’s excellent Sunday series, I came across a snippet in Sunday #434 regarding an interview Cheng did with author Linda Sue Park. In that interview, she mentions whittling away at the Pomodoro Technique until she ended up at 12-minutes… which works for her.
Jack told (a friend?) A.W. who coined the term the Cherry Tomato Technique. 👌🍅
So if you don’t have time for the full pomodoro, go cherry.
Side note re: Cheng’s Sunday series; I only recently discovered Jack Cheng’s Sunday series and I really love his format. It is similar to how I write Diversions – my series of posts that I really wish I wrote more of. So, perhaps I’ll combine Linda Sue Park’s method of productive writing with my desire to get my own series of posts out more often.
