If any next action on a task is designed to be completed within 20 mins, then that fits nicely. The way I approach this is thinking to myself, can I complete this task in the time I've allowed (eg. 20 mins)? If not, what can I do towards completing within that timeframe, make that my next action. Then, rinse and repeat as many times as needed.

I use Pomodoro, but my vote would be to keep them separate because I don't see enough integration potential. Potential shines for work and recovery intervals, with task-blocking secondary....in my opinion.

I use the Pomodoro Technique heavily at times, but intermittently overall.  I would probably use that feature if it was part of MLO, especially in the MLO mobile version.

My favorite Pomodoro app, on Android, is the "Productivity Challenge Timer".  I like it for many reasons, but one thing it does is keep track of what projects you log pomodoros against.

To me that's helpful because I can see if I'm putting in pomodoros on my goals over time or not. However, it's a gamified app, and becomes a bit naggy if you don't become its servant and keep doing endless pomodoros.  I finally put it into silent mode and "Don't judge me" mode.  If there was a happy medium between those all-or-nothing extremes, that would make it better.  Maybe it's my day off an I only feel like doing 4 tracked pomodoros today.  It still wanted me to do 8 or more, or it called me a slacker, and/or demoted me in rank.

The KanBanFlow web app has a feature to start a pomodoro from opening a task.

If MLO did add a Pomodoro timer feature, a report seeing Pomodoros logged against MLO goals (or, perhaps better, *Projects*) would be a useful feature to see how actual efforts are measuring up to our intentions.

I use widgets heavily on my Android phone. Clockwork Tomato has a lot of features, free for the basics, 15 days to try the addon pack, $2.50.

Me too!  Productivity Challenge ticks by my side all day.
