Why?
The Pomodoro technique is efficient for tasks you find boring, but having to take a break when you are 100% concentrated in something you like might be annoying. That's why the Flowtime technique exists: take appropriate breaks without loosing your flow.
How does it work?
The time you worked is divided by 5, and that's the break time you'll take. E.g, if you worked for 50 minutes, you'll take a 10 minute break, if you worked for 2 hours, you'll take a 24 minute break.
