Using a Timer Can Help
If you need to be disciplined about only spending 15 minutes at a time on a specific task, you can use a digital timer such as the online stop watch (Egg Timer).
This will help with you know when it is time to stop writing and get back to holiday obligations.

Yep. I have heard of that. The Pomodoro technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, like for instance 25 minutes in length and is separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros. Am I right?

reminds me of the days of anti-mousearm software. They also broke it down in shorter and longer work moments.. with breaks where you couldn't use your pc anymore as you had to go for a walk or an exercise ;-)
