There is no need to try and break a task down into smaller steps before entering it into the list. When you come to work on it you probably have had a chance to think about it some more and it will be obvious if there are any sub-tasks.&lt;p&gt;2. There is no schedule and the granularity is (inifinitely) variable. This helps avoid needless analysis or planning.&lt;p&gt;3. Garbage-colletion. If you perform a task that invalidates some easlier items on your lists the dismissal process should catch that without having to review or re-analyse the complete list looking for dependencies.&lt;p&gt;So for a system that is appears free-form and light on rules it actually has some substance. The only issue I can see is one that asimjalis commented on where one task can take too much time. I think that then it is appropriate to wind up the pomodoro.</text></comment>

Its stuck for me because it is light on rules I think. No other system has been as successful for me at harnessing structured procrastination.</text></comment>
