Pomodoro Technique for piano?

[ldibold]

Has anyone ever tried using the pomodoro technique for piano?

I've been playing around with something of the sort, but doing longer sessions in the morning (45 minutes) and making them shorter as the day goes by (down to about 15 minutes). I find this works really well, and that I can practice for far longer when I take breaks.

Try it and let me know how it goes, I use buildmyday.com (most pomodoro apps don't let me play with the time)... but any timer will do.

I didn't know what it was and had to look it up. I suppose that is exactly what I used for my improvisation for years when recording using tape, which ran out after half an hour and forced a break. Since I have been using a digital recorder there is no time limit and I have not noticed any deterioration in idea generation or technique when recording for much longer periods. Therefore I tend to think it does not apply to improvisation, at least for me.
