Pomodoro Time Technique！
Why the Pomodoro Method actually moves your life forward
The more you think, “I need to focus,” the harder it becomes to focus.
You decide, “Today, I’ll do this,” but before you know it, you’re doing something else.
Sound familiar?
That’s not because you lack willpower. It’s not because you lack ability.
You’re simply working against how the brain is designed.
That’s where the Pomodoro Technique comes in.
① Pomodoro Is Designed to Move You Forward
Even When You Have No Motivation
The Pomodoro Technique is extremely simple:
25 minutes of focus
5 minutes of break
Repeat as one set
That’s it.
But here’s the key point.
We feel intense stress toward:
Tasks with no visible end
Work where we don’t know how long we’ll have to push
The brain immediately asks:
“When does this end?”
“Do I have to keep trying forever?”
And so—
we unconsciously avoid starting.
Pomodoro makes a promise to the brain:
“Just 25 minutes.”
Even without motivation,
you can think,
“Well… 25 minutes, maybe.”
That’s its greatest strength.
② Focus Is Not About Willpower
It’s About Rhythm
The longer we concentrate,
the more our focus naturally declines.
The brain always follows this cycle:
Focus → Fatigue
Fatigue → Performance drop
Pomodoro uses this to its advantage.
You rest before focus collapses
You stand up before exhaustion sets in
As a result:
You don’t drift
Focus comes back faster
The next 25 minutes stays high-quality
In the end,
your total output increases.
③ You Increase “Progress,” Not Just “Time”
Most people evaluate themselves by:
How many hours they worked
How busy they were
But what changes life
is only one thing:
Did you move forward or not?
Pomodoro creates the feeling that:
1 Pomodoro = 1 step forward
Today:
I moved forward 4 Pomodoros
I stacked 8 Pomodoros
This builds:
Small wins
Self-efficacy
The sense that “I can move forward”
That feeling itself
is the motivation switch.
④ Why It Works for Perfectionism & Procrastination
The more someone thinks:
“I have to do this properly”
“I want it to be perfect”
…the harder it becomes to start.
Pomodoro changes the question.
❌ “Can I do this perfectly?”
⭕ “Shall I try for 25 minutes?”
This single shift decides whether you move or freeze.
Aim for perfection → you stop.
Break it small → you move.
This is also correct
from a neuroscience perspective.
⑤ Takumi-style: Recommended Way to Use It
If you use Pomodoro the Takumi way, try this:
Creative work (writing, thinking)
→ 2–3 Pomodoros in the morningOperational work (organizing, communication)
→ 1–2 Pomodoros in the afternoonDecide a clear “stop line”
→ Finish at 4–6 Pomodoros
The most important point is this:
“Stop while you still have energy.”
When you leave a little fuel in the tank,
tomorrow becomes exciting on its own.
Summary: Pomodoro Is a Technique for Trusting Yourself Again
The Pomodoro Technique is:
Not just time management
Not just self-control
It’s a method for reclaiming the feeling: “I can move forward.”
You don’t move because you feel motivated.
You feel motivated because you moved.
By stacking 25-minute blocks,
you eventually realize—your life’s momentum has changed.

The Winter Solstice That Will Launch a Major Leap in 2026
Enoshima Talk Event
December 22 – Winter Solstice
This year, the Year of the Snake,
marks a turning point when a new flow
begins to move in earnest.
How you welcome this day
will greatly shape the flow of 2026.
At this powerful moment of transformation,
we will be holding a talk event in Enoshima.
⸻
Speakers
Seiko Akashi
Akira Iwase
And as a special guest,
we are honored to welcome:
Takumi Yamazaki
Together, the three of them will share—
in depth—
what is truly needed right now
to set 2026 into motion.
Theme of This Winter Solstice
The theme we have chosen for this pivotal time is
the key to transforming this era of great change
into something truly extraordinary:
Partnership
Work.
Life.
The future.
What moves the flow
is the relationship you have
with others—and with yourself.
You may be:
Putting in the effort, yet not moving forward
Doing your best, yet unable to catch the flow
Behind this, more often than not,
lies the quality of partnership.
In this event,
each of the three speakers will explore
the true essence of partnership
from their own unique perspectives.
Why Enoshima?
Enoshima is home to
one of Japan’s Three Great Benzaiten shrines.
It is said to govern:
Financial fortune
Talents
Meaningful connections
With ancient dragon legends still alive,
Enoshima is known as
“the island that moves the flow.”
Winter Solstice × Year of the Snake × Enoshima
There could be no more fitting stage
for this moment of transformation.
This Winter Solstice—
Let’s meet in Enoshima.
