Productivity Tree vs Du Contracts

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for 'tomato', after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.

The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one you’ll ever build. When you promise yourself you’ll call your doctor, do the dishes, or hit the gym—you owe it to yourself to follow through. At your core, you are two people constantly interacting with one another: the one who decides, and the one who acts. That’s Du! — the dialogue between you and yourself. Introducing Du Contracts. This app lets you create simple “I Will” or “I Won’t” contracts with a 24-hour expiration. Within that window, you either complete or fail your contract. If you don’t update it in time, it automatically moves to your Failure Folder. Failures stay visible on your home page for at least seven days—a gentle but firm reminder of your unfinished commitments. Hold yourself accountable. Build trust with yourself. Start your first Du Contract today.
