Work cycles

I’ve read this Work Cycle framework to be more productive with your daily routine.

Suggests an alternative to Pomodoro technique, in which you are to write down the contents of the goal, then split in small chunks (periods) of time to complete the individual tasks, then debrief at the end of the period and at the end of the cycle.

An analogy could be a double-loop Pomodoro technique for tasks.

Disclaimer about AI/GenAI

As of 2026-05-06, the text in these articles and blog entries has been written without AI/GenAI, except I sometimes use a spellchecker to fix errors. Think Word's spellchecker, not ChatGPT.

Notes, as of today (2026-05-06):

  • No code snippet has been automatically generated, nor vibe-coded, nor generated and reviewed.
  • I don’t have any article with AI contribution.

For future entries:

  • I may have used GenAI for the code in the repo. The code I exemplify/copy in the article will always be reviewed and tested, not vibe-coded. I will specify it in each snippet or at the top/bottom of the article.
  • I normally don't use it for the text contents, although if I have used it for the article text, it would be indicated as such.

Any entry before 2026-05-06 does not contain any AI/GenAI.

For more information, read the AI/GenAI Policy
