Time management

Personal time management may be a hudge subject - a lot of knowledge to learn, train and understand to do it perfectly... or it may be just any simple set of rules you always follow. I've found "The Pomodoro Technique" - which is just a simple set of rules.

Pomodoro rules:
- if you do The Task, you do The Task. Nothing can disturb you (other people, phone call, news feed - just nothing),
- you do The Task for a specified amount of time (e.g. 25 minutes), and then you take a short break (e.g. 5 minutes). Then you continue The Task or start a next one, and break, and next task, and break, ... you got the point.
- after few work/break cycles (usually 4), you make a long break (e.g. 20 minutes),

So simply saying your work-cycle is for example:
- 25 minutes of work, then 5 minutes of rest (short break),
- 25 minutes of work, then 5 minutes of rest (short break),
- 25 minutes of work, then 5 minutes of rest (short break),
- 25 minutes of rest, then 20 minutes of rest (long break),

The "Pomodoro Technique" works and I like it. Of course, it is not the "golden rule" - it may not "fit" to your needs. Anyway, let's just give it a try :)

Pomodorro - our version:
There is a lot of software already present in the net, however we (in Kemu) made some own version. We called it Pomodorro - try it :)

The idea was - to have a nice looking (well designed), simple to run (web version) and configurable (few simple options) Pomodoro tool. I hope you like it!

Future:
We like the idea so much, we plan to create version for mobiles (Android at least) and desktop (Windows and Linux).

Just one of nice-looking job postings I've found:

Reading all these developer job ads is a great way to put me to sleep:
- Looking for: "talented and passionate developers that live to code".
- Offering you: "a competitive package and challenging work environment".
Blah blah blah

Let's admit it, usually dishonesties are told from both sides of the table. We don’t like that game; we don't want to bore you with the same bullshit that every recruiter is selling you.
So down with my pants I go, and here is a snapshot of who we are:
We are a distributed team of workaholics that take pride in our work. We select our challenges based on the amount of fun they can generate and we don't pull our punches for anyone.

We don't understand the concept of a cubicle or an office. We believe work hours are those points of the day that give you most inspiration. And most importantly our boss (me) tends to swear a lot.
