I never really got into the Pomodoro technique. Personally, I use the approach of just getting started—15 or 20 minutes is all it takes to break the inertia.
Once I’m in, I’m usually off to the races. When I’m interested in something or determined to finish a project, I can hyper-focus like nobody’s business. But the Pomodoro technique? It just never worked for me.
Obviously this technique works—plenty of people use it and write about it. I’m so glad it’s been successful for you! We all have to find what works for us!. This just was something that doesn't seem to fit for me 😊
I personally find pomodoro focus time very low like.. when I take break every 25 mins it breaks the rhythm for me.
So i generally tend to follow a format of 60 min FOCUS 15 min SHORT BREAK and 30 min LONG BREAK
Works pretty well for me.
Obviously a matter of personal interest but i would say a modified version is always a more person focused approach.
Couldn’t agree more.
The timings can be played with to suit the needs of the individual but the idea remains the same.

Fair enough, not every method will work for every person.
It works wonders for me as I often struggle to focus on tasks that I know aren’t urgent but still need to be done.

"Using this technique effectively also means adapting it to your own personal needs."
I agree 100%
The need to adapt for each person, and each day might also have a different flow ;) it's ok to do set less than 25 min timer.
