It's exam time again, and we have your back for music to help you study!

 

Have you ever heard about the Pomodoro Studying Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. This technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

This is How it Works
  1. Decide on the task to be done.
  2. Set the Pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
  3. Work on the task.
  4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
  5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes), then go to step 2.
  6. After four Pomodoro sessions, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.
