* A more structured way of working 
{{{sidenote(1, Useful for people who don't like the constrained working limit of 25 minutes for instance.)}}}

Whilst researching for different ways to use pomodoro [fn:1] on Emacs [fn:2], I came across this package titled: ~pomm.el~. In this package it had an interesting feature called /pomm-third-time/[fn:3]. The ideology behind is as follows:
- You work as long as you want.
- Your break is calculated using the formula: ~Time of break = 1/3 x Time of work~.
- If you take a shorter break, the remaining break time is accumulated and added to the next break (within the same session).
