    Maybe surprisingly, it is actually a technique to limit interruptions, specifically because you are only working on your current task for 25 minutes. It makes it much easier to not switch tasks in the middle because your next time to switch tasks is less than 25 minutes away. For example, if you’re in a task writing a report and you remember that you were supposed to send an email, you write down the email task to do later and don’t worry about it because if it’s important than you will pick it for your next pomodoro. This allows you to stay focused on the report you’re writing for this pomodoro.

    Yeah, it seems Buddists are more focused on mindfulness and being fully in the moment, which is kind of the opposite of escapism. Also understanding duhkha, sometimes translated as unease due to “not having what one wants” or “having what one doesn’t want” and accepting it and living with it rather than striving to eliminate duhkha.

    …and of course Buddhists have been known to kill other Buddhists for being the wrong kind of Buddhists, so ymmv
