Too Long; Didn't Read
The Pomodoro Technique calls for using a timer to break down work into 25-minute intervals separated by short 5-minute breaks. After four sessions of work, the technique prescribes a longer 30-minute break. Having a clearly defined amount of time for work followed by break time, especially in shorter and more frequent time intervals, reinforces the incentive of doing a little bit of work to get a reward (the break) If you’re struggling with procrastination or tasks with a high barrier to entry like studying, start with shorter time intervals.
