My name is Staffan Nöteberg. I’m a professional software developer since 1992. I focus on computer science and software development processes. Most days I work as a senior Java contractor, but now and then I write on the BRAINMODA blog or teach Agile and Object Technology. I’m the author of the Pragmatic Bookshelf book Pomodoro Technique Illustrated.

Hi Staffan,
Would I break the Pomodoro process if I decide to go for 48 minutes work increment + 12 minutes of pause, instead of increment of 25 minutes + 5 minutes of paus

In most cases it’s best to start with 25 minutes. If you notice after some weeks that you hardly ever get interruptions and that you are still 100% focused in the end of the timebox, then you may experiment with longer timeboxes. It’s an adaptive method.
Hi, Staffan:
You book is awesome, I’ve read it twice and am practicing the Pomodoro Tech.
I wrote a post on your book in Chinese:

Thanks for your work!

Thanks Juven!
I’m glad that you also mentioned that Turing Book will soon publish a Chinese translation of Pomodoro Technique Illustrated. Maybe you can tell me then if the translation is any good :-)
BTW: I asked Google to translate your review into English: http://tinyurl.com/37vz5sk
I’m not sure if I will buy another Chinese Edition :), But I can go to the bookstore and take a look ;)
Actually I wanted to be the translator, but I don’t have time :(
