Time management help

A friend told me about MyTomatoes.com yesterday. It's a site that utilizes the Pomodoro Technique, a time management method based on the theory that frequent breaks can improve mental agility. My favorite part: time is measured in 25 minute increments called "pomodoros," Italian for tomatoes.

The idea is to work for 25 minutes until the timer goes off, record what you did, take a 5 minute break, and repeat. After every four tomatoes you finish, take a longer 15-20 minute break. I was all set to try it today, but work was too hectic to bother with setting the timer. This might be a good tool to use when you don't have immediate outside deadlines, and you struggle to stay focused and feel productive.
