Study tips – the pomodoro method
Studying is hard, but achieving the right work-life-study balance is the real challenge. At Mindful Education we frequently suggest study tips to help learners get the most out of their studies. We wanted to delve a little deeper into one of our favourites tips, the Pomodoro Method:
This technique helps learners achieve the perfect balance between work and rest. It divides learning into 25 minute work periods followed by a 5 minute break, each of these sets is called a Pomodoro – named after the tomato shaped timer originally used to test this method. After 4 Pomodoros, the learner should take an extended break of 15-30 Minutes.
Benefits of the Pomodoro Method:
- Reduces procrastination
- Prevents mental exhaustion
- Removes the dread of certain tasks
- Improves time management
There are a wide range of immersive videos to help learners utilise the Pomodoro technique. Here are some of our favourites:
1. Study with Cats
Since 2020, many more of us have been accustomed to having our pets as our work and study buddies. This cat themed pomodoro is purr-fect for those who work better with a feline sidekick.
2. Dark Academia Library
