Using Pomodoro to Help Me Reclaim my Brain for Drawing Comics

I'm giving the pomodoro technique a try to help me focus on drawing comics more efficiently and hopefully faster.

I don't use the pomodoro technique, I use countdown timer with Focus Plant (similar app to Forest I believe, it has pomodoro, countdown and interval, also gamified with growing plants). I also use a routine, todo and I pay attention to circadian rhythm (simplified: focus on sleep and sleeping at the same time and waking up at the same time, its like a complex routine basing on the time and body). While I don't specifically use a pomodoro timer, its similar in the way focus work and breaks are planned out. Breaks are important, it helps the mind recover and reflect, usually my good ideas come from my breaks.
I haven't made a comic tho, so not sure how that process goes. But since you are spending time with finding references or thinking about what to draw (something that I also need to do when I draw), it can help to write them down. An outline similar to writing a book like story points, character arcs, character personality, etc. is also helpful. Thumbnail pages to help with planning pages quickly. You might want to set up time for when you find references. If I already have a plan of what to draw, I might gather references the day before when I'm tired at night rather than my allotted drawing time when I want to spend a lot of my good focus energy. I also some physical items to help plan my week, similar to a one week calendar. Write down what pages you want to work on, it'll be a little easier to figure out if you're progressing well (some days for sketching, then other days for scenery, etc.). Some ideas, this would likely work for me if I tried to make a comic, but it could be different for other people or for you (which is totally normal, people have different ways of working, processes, learning, etc.).

So far so good! But it's still early days.
