Pomodoro Technique for focus and productivity

During my school time, it’s really hard for me to stay focused. Math and chem tests, AP homework, and other long-term stuff stresses me off and sometimes I just can’t keep track of things, eventually finding myself scrolling through TikTok. Mid-way through school year, however, I stumbled across these working technique called The Pomodoro Technique. It helped me manage my time efficiently and stay focused and productive. Here’s how I used it:

1)Pick a Task: Choose something specific you want to work on.

2)Timer: Set a timer for 25 minutes. This period is called a "Pomodoro."

3)Work: Focus on your task and work on it without any interruptions until the timer goes off.

4)Take a Short Break: Once the 25 minutes are up, take a 5-minute break. Stretch, walk around, relax, or scroll but don’t overuse this time.

5)Repeat: Do another 25-minute work (another Pomodoro) and take another 5-minute break.

6)Longer Breaks: After completing 4 Pomodoros (4 25-minute work sessions), take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. This helps you recharge before starting another round.
