Reports of productivity techniques working past the honeymoon period are very valuable. Thank you for posting this.
As are reports of them not working past the honeymoon period. Perhaps, even more so.
Thanks for the encouragement. :-)
I wonder if the extra energy from the honeymoon-effect could be utilized better to make habits more permanent. Many techniques work just fine but people stop using them for whatever reason.
You can look into the lessons in The Power of Habit and think more about the cues that trigger the habit routine and the rewards that follow it and strengthen the habit.
Pomodoros have the obvious cue of needing to get some work done. I guess the simple feeling of accomplishment from a successful pomodoro could serve as the reward. Maybe more explicit thinking about each could help make the habit stronger.
