Simple, but powerful.
How do you use this exactly? Pompodoro technique or time boxing or what?
Time boxing. Pomodero, as I understand it, is a method for setting aside chunks of time to work with no distractions. That's good, but I prefer time boxing because it emphasizes getting things done within your allotted time box. Personally, it helps me break my tendency toward perfection, and focus on the Pareto principle.
Dan Kennedy once said, "It doesn't need to be good. It just needs to be good enough."
Smart dude.
Couldn't you combine the 2.. such as setting your timebox time to 25 minutes and getting done what you can good enough in that 25 min time frame? Won't work for huge projects of course, but doing good enough in that 25 minutes could help some busting out shit.
Yep. You nailed my process exactly. I should have been more clear, but I'm digging into one of my time boxes as I'm writing this. I obviously still need some work on the discipline front.
"Premium Cigars
I don't remember why I got into cigars, but they've been a bit of a hobby of mine for almost 10 years. The finding, collecting, and trading is fun, but the real reason I love them is simple. They are goddamn delicious.
It's a great little relaxing luxury that forces you to tune out from everything and just enjoy yourself. Hanging out in the hammock with a rum/coke (goes great with a maduro type cigar) and a good book is my idea of heaven. Oh man, just typing this is making me want to head over to the humidor and grab a delicious and chocolaty ecstasy-stick right now.
I have literally turned down sex because I was in the middle of smoking a cigar."
Ditto! Smoking a fine cigar seems similar meditation, like hitting my own reset button.
My wife has been wonderful to me as well. She hits my reset button all of the time.

I see you're in South FL. If you ever make it upstate a bit, Santos is a great place to ride. More info here:

Best in FL IMHO (which isn't saying much I guess, but its great nonetheless). Speaking of which, weather is starting to cool down nicely. I need to make it out there myself one of these weekends soon.
