I’ve been trying it out recently to some degree of success, finding the right intervals was the hard part, 25-5 feels like absolute torture to me.
Is anyone else giving it ago?

It’s a great starting point. Live it, customize it to your needs, internalize it, then discard it like training wheels
When I finish a task, I get up and walk. When I get frustrated, I get up and walk. When I think I’ve found the answer, I get up and walk. When I realize I’m on the wrong path, I get up and walk
Over learning does nothing but bore me, sometimes a task is so easy I plow through the next one, sometimes a task is too big or I reach a good stopping point and walk to recollect myself. I don’t need to think about it anymore
I don’t need a timer anymore, my body is a variable timer - time is subjective after all. But I used pompdoro to instill the habit, then I grew beyond it - my version might not work for you, maybe you’ll even need the timer - but it’s a great technique, so use it, take the good and discard the useless, and adapt it to you over time
