This feature of the “3+2” strategy makes it compatible with popular time management strategies like the Pomodoro Technique and timeboxing. For example, schedule four pomodoros - each composed of a 25-minute work segment and 5-minute break - to complete one of your big tasks. Allocate time boxes that give you the time you need to complete your smaller tasks. The “3+2” strategy improves your focus by limiting the scope of your task list. With only five items to work on, you’re less susceptible to distractions.
