I tend to miss the pomodoro "deadline" even though when I manage to stay on track it's great and I love it.
Any tips?
Also what do people do during the 5 min break?
I like to play a bit of codewar, to stretch and to read emails and/or dev.to

I think I mentioned it above, but I use my break to stretch or play with my dogs (when possible). The little one is going to guarantee I get some exercise with throwing his ball! Otherwise, I try to jot down notes on what I was doing or how I feel about the direction I'm going - especially if it's the first one of the day.
