Context Switching

I am experimenting with a new way of working.

I run 6 Claude Code instances at the same time in 6 different KDE “Virtual Desktops”.

I have a Pomodoro timer with the following durations:

• 5 minutes: fully focus on the current workspace
• 1 minute: do what I want including checking my phone or working on any workspace I want

At the end of each pomo, I have to switch to the next workspace.

The goal of the 1 minute “break” is to have time to go and quickly unblock other agents in an unordered way.

The key advantage is that it allows me to work on stuff that I usually find boring without burning out, one bite at a time.

I am not sure if I am more productive, but I feel more engaged and I have more to show for at the end of the day.
