The pommodoro method is an amazing tool for fighting procrastination. When the timer rings and you get your five minute break, or your 25 minute break, if you are at the end of four pommodoros, that's when you can go take your break and spend time on social media or do whatever you want to do. The second thing it does is it helps you manage distractions. So if something like email or social media gets your attention and gets you out of the zone, think how hard it is to get back in zone. People talk about flow state and work. When you're taken at a flow state, getting back in takes 30 to 60 minutes on its own.
