Knowing the limitations of knowledge is the real possession of knowledge.

Charles Munger said that only when we understand the limitations of a kind of knowledge can we really have a kind of knowledge.

Having said so much about the benefits of pomodoro technique before, let's talk about its limitations.

It has two applicable premises:

1) can arrange a whole block for half an hour; If your job is to be on standby to deal with those emergencies, it doesn't apply.

2) The task itself is a problem that needs deep thinking and concentrated attention to solve; It is not applicable if it is a fragmentary combat mission.

A lot of work, such as Internet operation, is to deal with all kinds of piecemeal problems, emergencies, and there is still a lot of time to deal with others, so it is not suitable to use pomodoro technique and make a list directly.

But even so, there are definitely tasks that need to be thought deeply at work, and when these tasks are completed, you can use pomodoro technique.

This method is suitable for everyone, but not for all situations.
