Pomodoro technique for studying

Pomodoro technique is great for studying,keeps you focused on subject and achieve maximum productivity.
In order to implement this technique you have to do following steps:

Making Plan:

  • Split big amount of information on smallest possible parts and give each a title
  • Download and print todo list from here
    or use excell pomodoro template from here
  • Write titles you defined into todo-list and add estimated amount of time (hours) that will require to study this part

Track your progress:

  • Select first title from the list , start the timer, study this part.
  • Try to stay focused on this particular part of study
  • When timer buzzed take a break add + to part you've been working on.
  • If you had interruption stop timer and add - to part you've been working on.
  • When you complete part, cross it out and move on the list.


Avoid distractions:

here are some tips how to avoid distractions:

  • Study in a quiet environment
  • Turn off cell phone - this was the main source of distractions for me
  • If you have to have to read article from internet consider to print it and read from paper.


Take a break

Pomodoro technique encourage you to take break every 25 minutes, during a break it's
important do something completely different (walk if you have been sitting but avoid falling into daydreaming and asking yourself questions about subject ).
