[REQUEST] Adding more flexibility to pomm using the third time technique.

[maikol-solis]

Hi!

In my productivity experiments, I stumbled upon with this great package

https://github.com/telotortium/org-pomodoro-third-time

Basically, it uses the pomodoro principle, but using the formula

Time of break =  1/3 x Time of work. 

Therefore, If you worked for 1 hour straight, then you can have a maximum of 20 minutes of break. Also, if you are focused in something and only used 5 minutes of your break time, the other left 15 minutes you can use them later (combined with another break) if you want a really long break (for taking a nap for example).

The technique's full explanation: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/RWu8eZqbwgB9zaerh/third-time-a-better-way-to-work

The magic of this is that the periods of work are completely dynamic. You can work 20 minutes, then 1 hour, then 10 minutes, etc. All depends on your day.

I've used org-pomodoro-third-time and it's awesome. Obviously, it depends completely on org-pomodoro.

Maybe this could be something to consider to add into pomm for more flexibility

WDYT?

Thanks for sharing, it sounds interesting. Maybe it will fit my workflow better than the original pomodoro.

I'll try to implement that when I have the time.

Super cool. Try first org-pomodoro-third-time to get used it to the workflow. The author did an awesome job with the package. Maybe you could steal him some ideas/code for pomm.

Best.

Added, M-x pomm-third-time is the new entrypoint. I'll give this a more extensive test after my vacation ends.

Thank you very much! I just tried and works awesome. Your implementation follows perfectly de the method.

Just as comment, for me the functions org-pomodoro-third-time-end-at or org-pomodoro-third-time-end-in are super useful. Check if those are useful to you and the package.

Again, thanks for your awesome contribution!
