Who never wanted to do anything else that what should be done now? You know the feeling you have to do this boring task but spend your time doing a lot of other less important and time consuming tasks (answering mail, reading rss feed, the news of the world...). Pomodoro is a simple technique to help you focusing and actually doing boring and tedious tasks.
