Nice one! Did you try some productivity techniques like pomodoro?
Also do you have any tips how to focus on productivity during daily work, especially when fixing bugs or solving complex issues?

Hi, Krzysztof!

I tried Pomodoro, but It didn't work out for me. I tried it with 25 and 35 minutes iterations, but It appeared to break my concentration rather than keep it.

I think, music helps me a lot to concentrate on something, I just turn some calm acoustic or focus thing and I am all in the process :) Whether it is fixing bugs or searching a solution for a complex issue.
Also, every hour I do 5 minutes breaks. I use Time Out - Dejal app for that. It helps me to keep the focus.
