I have written here previously about the Pomodoro technique. Rather than reposting, just follow the link. Looking back from a few months later, I continue to use Pomodoros and find them useful on aversive tasks such as cleaning my office or starting a big project on which I don’t know where to begin. I don’t have big akrasia problems these days, so I don’t use it every day; but when a task is aversive, Pomodoros are a big help.
