    How to Use Pomodoro for Design

    1

    Choose Your Design Session

    Deep work (45 min) for complex UI. Standard (25 min) for iterations. Ideation (20 min) for brainstorming.

    2

    Close Distractions

    Just Figma/Sketch/Adobe, reference materials, and the timer. No Slack, no email, no scrolling.

    3

    Design Until the Timer Stops

    Pure creative focus. Don't second-guess yourself mid-session. You'll review during breaks.

    4

    Step Back During Breaks

    Walk away, literally. Come back with fresh eyes and you'll see things you missed.

    Design Tips with Pomodoro

    Separate Creation from Critique

    Use design sessions for pure creation. Schedule separate critique sessions later. Mixing both kills creative flow.

    Use Breaks for Pattern Recognition

    Step back and look at your design from across the room during breaks. You'll spot alignment and spacing issues instantly.

    Version Control Between Sessions

    Save a new version at the end of each Pomodoro. Gives you iteration history and prevents over-polishing one direction.

    Set Specific Goals Per Session

    "Design 3 homepage variations" not "work on homepage." Specific goals = better output.

    Longer Sessions for Detail Work

    Icon design, illustrations, and pixel-perfect work benefit from 45-50 minute sessions. You need time to build momentum.
