Although I do more work, quantitatively, I feel a lot fresher after a day's work. And I manage to squeeze a whooping 7+ hours of work each day, which I didn't thought possible before. My colleagues were very understanding, and tried not to interrupt me during a pomodoro. When they wanted a word with me, they would just let me know about it, and we would have it during a later break. @Horia: I experienced the same thing.

So I guess it's for the best... And I totally agree on the "makes you realize how much time you lose each day". After you start using it becomes obvious where the time leaks are. Keep up using it :) p.s.: sunt curios de reactia colegilor tai in momentul in care ai inceput sa o folosesti (si probabil le-ai spus si lor cu scopul de a reduce intreruperile externe).
