Hi all,

Are there ways to use Pomodoro technique
(http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/) with org-mode? If there are what
are the best practices?

Thank you in advice.

I do this using Org-Mode and a kitchen timer. I clock in when I wind
the timer, and clock out when it dings, instead of just marking with
X's. To record distractions I keep a scratch buffer in org-mode open,
although there may be a better way to capture distractions on the
urgent and unplanned list using remember mode to file them away into a
more organized system. I just haven't had time to read about it. I
like the fact that the urgent & unplanned items don't go anywhere
unless I decide to file them though, because it keeps my to-do list
cleaner that way. During my most distracted periods I tend to capture
a lot of stray to-do items of only marginal utility.

I'm not sure my personal workflow will work exactly right for anyone
but myself (and it's still a work in progress for me too!), but I'm
happy to answer any other questions you might have about it.

Hello,

I always start a clock when I work on a task. And for the Pomodoro
technique I use also the org-timer module with some configuration.

Activate the org-timer module :

(add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-timer)

Set a default value for the timer, for example :

(setq org-timer-default-timer 25)

Modify the org-clock-in so that a timer is started with the default
value except if a timer is already started :

(add-hook 'org-clock-in-hook '(lambda () 
      (if (not org-timer-current-timer) 
      (org-timer-set-timer '(16)))))

Fred.

Is there a way to get a countdown timer visible like the one you start
with `C-c C-x .'?

I created a section about using Org with Pomodoro on Worg:

`org-timer-set-timer' now displays a timer in the modeline.

Also thanks to Frédéric Couchet who asked me to have this feature for
aaaages.

Thank you for this patch. Having the countdown in the modeline is very
useful.

Fred.

There is the org-pomodoro package.
https://github.com/lolownia/org-pomodoro

It provides `org-pomodoro` function, which starts a countdown.
In the end it starts a short or long break timer accordingly.
You also get clock ticking and pomodoro finishing sounds.
