I know I have 1 - 2 Pomodoros I might be able to finish, but that's about it. <br><br>The question then becomes do I keep a stack of these simple 1 - 2 Pomodoros around so that I can work on them while code is building on the server (or I'm waiting for someone to get back to me) or find something else pertaining to the task at hand to do? I think I'm more inclined to do the former as the latter is sometimes hard to find (although I can always refactor, but then that leads to another build).
