Pomodoro Technique: "Make Time Your Friend, Not Your Enemy"

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. It involves focusing single-mindedly on a task, then taking a break, then focusing on the next task. The technique involves setting a timer for 25 minutes to focus on a specific task or subject, then taking a 5 minute break. This is repeated for 4 intervals, with a longer 15-30 minute break before starting the next set of intervals. This method aims to break up long tasks into focused intervals to improve productivity.

Pomodoro Technique

“Make Time Your Friend, Not Your Enemy”

The Pomodoro Technique is an effective study method when you need help focusing on your work. This
technique allows you to focus on the task-at-hand in organized bursts of time. Tasks can include studying
or homework in either one subject or multiple subjects.

How it works:

The Pomodoro Technique uses cycles of shorts bursts of focus and quick mental breaks (after 4 cycles,
you take a longer break)

 Step 1: Set a timer for 25 minutes (the standard time – you can adjust it to fit your needs)
 Step 2: Study for 25 minutes (Cycle 1 begins!)
 Step 3: Take a 5 minute break (relax, grab a drink, run to the restroom)
 Step 4: Study for 25 minutes (Cycle 2)
 Step 5: 5 minute break.
 Step 6: Take another 25 minutes (Cycle 3)
 Step 7: Another 5 minute break here!
 Step 8: Last 25 minutes before a longer break! (Cycle 4)
 You’ve completed 1 hour and 40 minutes of studying!
 At last, a long break! The standard break time is 15-30 minutes or whatever fits your needs
