Pomodoro Technique
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique allows you to work on a task for 25 minute bursts, followed by a 5 minute break. The goal is to create focused blocks of time with a short break so you don’t feel overwhelmed.¹
How does it work?
- Pick a subject or task you need to complete for school.
- Set a 25 minute timer and work on your task.
- After your timer goes off, take a 5 minute break.
- Repeat the process. After four sessions, take a longer break.¹
