May 15	comment	Is It Worth The Time? I'm having trouble envisioning how this is going to fit the Q&A format, but I'll leave it open a little to see what happens.
May 15	comment	Best headphones/earplugs to drown out loud nearby conversations I closed this because it is a polling question/survey and not one with an answer.
May 14	comment	How to set/control my hours with a new employer? I think this would fit better in workplace SE because it is more about how to broach the topic. Do you mind if I move it over there?
May 14	comment	Task estimated to be 8 pomodori, what to do? Well said. Want to add: Just because something is going to take 8 pomodoros doesn't mean you have to do them all in a row. You can read 6 of them and take a break. Or you can do all 8 in a row. As long as you can concentrate that long, no problem.
May 9	comment	Dislike towards sleeping late in order to study Can you study at the gym?
May 3	comment	Bad biological clock and weird sleeping hours I'm sure he meant 12pm. I've edited it to "noon" to be clearer.
May 1	comment	How can I manage several hours of intellectual work (web dev/coding) a day without getting mentally exhausted? This is going to be specific to each person. What has worked most for you? Maybe then someone can suggest a variation that will work.
Mar 23	comment	What should be my motivation to not to give up early? There's a theory that bringing up Hitler ends a discussion on the internet. I've edited your question to discuss the motivation aspects and remove the Hitler aspects.
Mar 15	comment	Finding possible meeting dates between parties via intersecting calendar files Email tools like Lotus Notes do this at companies. What format is the calendar in for the people you are asking about?
Mar 7	comment	Doing a lot of things in one day— good or bad? This is too vague to be considered a good answer. Could you edit your answer to elaborate? Maybe add an example of why doing a lot of things isn't good?
Jan 16	comment	How to spend less time in compositions correction? That's not an insurmountable obstactle. You could have the students write a # on the paper instead of their name. You have the key. The students don't know who they are grading.
Jan 13	comment	Which computer-based Pomodoro timers exist and what are their features? Why do you like it? Sharing more information (or even summarizing the link), gives a more useful answer.
Jan 3	comment	Looking for printable daily organizer/planner/scheduler for 2013 This doesn't look like the format the person is looking for.
Dec 29	comment	What do I do with reasonably large tasks that are due at some point in the future? Jeff: I pick them based on when I think I will do them. I then review my tasks for the week/day. So they are pretty flexible. I also know when the real deadline is. But I'm not a procrastinator so this isn't a problem for me. I also don't do them immediately. I like to plan my day and not respond to a series of artificial "urgent" items.
Dec 25	comment	Isolation as a productivity 'drive' Keep in mind that you posted this on Christmas Eve. A lot of people are offline and haven't even seen the question yet. Plus it isn't something a lot of people have experience with.
Dec 21	comment	How to be a smart worker rather than hard worker to be fit for the IT industry? This question is too vague to be answerable. IT could be a help desk or programming or repairing computers or ... Techniques for productivity would vary by the nature of the job. Can you edit your post to add more info?
Dec 6	comment	What is the best wiki to install and run locally? Fair enough. I do agree that software for pomodoro is on topic. I didn't think of wiki has productivity software but I'm willing to reconsider and reopen it. Reopened.
Dec 5	comment	What is the best wiki to install and run locally? This is off topic for this site. There's probably another stack exchange site where it would fit, but can't think of one. Will move it if anyone has a suggestion.
Nov 25	comment	How to get motivation to do important things in the morning? Or use software to set a limit on time spent emailing. You are likely to be distracted by wondering if "something important happened" if you don't check your email for 5 minutes first thing in the am.
Nov 25	comment	Suggest the Name for IT Company which Develops the Smart Phones Apps I've closed this thread because it is essentially a brainstorming question which doesn't fit well. More importantly, it's also not a productivity question.
