I've been trying it out recently to some degree of success, finding the right intervals was the hard part, 25-5 feels like absolute torture to me.

Is anyone else giving it ago?

The interval thing never worked for me. But the timer helped me keeping focus. I use an app where the timer gets the name of the task I'm doing and every time I get distracted, I can see what I am supposed to do and refocus. The timer is just set to the minimum time I want to work on that task or if I need to finish it, the time i think I'll need for it.
