Pomodoro for ADHD and burnout

Pomodoro can be a strong support tool for ADHD and burnout because it keeps the work chunk small enough to start.

Section

Shorter commitments reduce resistance

When the brain is overloaded, a 25-minute or even 15-minute block can be easier to start than an open-ended task.

  • Make the first step tiny
  • Keep the break visible
  • Use the rhythm, not perfection

Section

Burnout needs pacing, not pressure

The point is not to squeeze harder. The point is to give the nervous system predictable rest so work is less costly.

  • Use shorter cycles when drained
  • Keep breaks genuinely restorative
  • Adjust the rhythm to the day
