As soon as a new studying year starts, it brings students new power, fresh ideas, and willingness to cope even with the most time consuming tasks. However, one month passes and you begin to feel more erratic, your energy resources start to expire, and you are about to fall into a usual subdepression. This must have happened with almost every student, so there are a few ways of how to keep focused on the tasks without loosing productivity.
Pomodoro Technique
The name sound awkward, but the effective influence of the Pomodoro Technique will help you to manage your time and complete as many tasks as possible in a quick and less exhausting way. The Pomodoro means splitting time you devote to fulfill the task into parts, each of which includes 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest. After four “pomodoros”, which is 100 minutes of work time and 15 minutes of rest, take a 15-20 minutes break. It takes from seven to twelve days to master the technique, but be sure, when the Pomodoro becomes a part of your life, you will wave goodbye to heavy workloads.
