Stay productive with the Pomodoro Technique
As we head into the second half of the semester, staying focused and managing heavy workloads can feel overwhelming. A great way to keep your momentum without burning out is by “chunking” your work using the Pomodoro Technique!
How it works:
- Choose a task or class you want to focus on.
- Set a timer for 25 minutes and focus!
- Take a five-minute brain break to stretch, grab water, or rest your brain.
- Repeat! After four “pomo” sessions, reward yourself with a longer 15- to 30-minute break.
By breaking your study sessions into manageable chunks, you maintain high focus, reduce mental fatigue, and avoid procrastination.
