Pomodoro, Deep Work, Flow: focus techniques compared
Published · 8 min read · Paul Kasten
Three methods rule the world of focus. All three can be amplified with a focus app like TaskBlue, and all three turn into visible ocean impact.
Pomodoro: time-based
25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest. Good for anyone who needs structure. Pairs ideally with TaskBlue schedules.
Deep Work: depth over time
Blocks of 90 to 240 minutes at peak concentration. TaskBlue, 'Do Not Disturb', and the Focus Buoy in another room, the gold standard.
Flow: state over plan
Flow can't be forced, only enabled. No flow with phone pings. TaskBlue clears exactly those trip wires away.
All three with impact
Whichever method you choose: with TaskBlue, every focused minute funds marine protection. The method is your vehicle, the impact the side effect you'll never want to miss again.
Find your focus. Free the sea.
TaskBlue is free. With a Focus Buoy (one time from 29.99 EUR), every hour of deep focus pulls real plastic back to land.
