How to Use the Pomodoro Technique - Study Tips - Time Management

How do we get our work done? We use the POMODORO TECHNIQUE. This is a great method for managing your time. It involves breaking your tasks into 25 minute chunks, then taking a 5 minute break, and then doing another cycle. Repeat until you're done!

It's amazing how much more efficient you will be when using this time management technique. This is the right way to do multitasking - staying VERY focused on one task at a time.

The Pomodoro Technique was invented by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. He used a little Tomato-shaped timer, and that's where the name came from! You can get one here:

This technique is especially powerful when combined with using a PLANNER.

It's amazing how 25 minutes feels like an ocean of time when you're concentrating without distractions.

[Socratica]

Did you know a little tomato could help you be a more efficient student? We were surprised how well the Pomodoro Technique worked. What techniques work for you? We want to hear!

[Breyerloverever]

I learned about the pomodoro technique yesterday.
Here I am watching more videos about it to procrastinate.

Great video, btw.

[rhishikeshdongre]

I learned much more here than I did at Hogwarts

[MULACosmos]

Brain: I need some rest


Me: *Doing an assignment at 11:00 thats due at 11:59PM


Brain: Yeaa forget this Shi

[anasmahmud]

Finally i got a nice channel where i could learn interesting things.
love this

[prakhar]

Socratica is indeed "the great explainer", so convincing and equally informative. Love watching her videos.

[anhtule]

Thank you so much! My son easily get distracted. I will try to use this technique. You are great!

[lawlietway]

And now my brain explodes comparing how perfect your accent is in both English and Portuguese!!

[brycepinsky]

this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen

[Socratica]

Socratica Friends, was school easy for you...until suddenly it wasn't? We wrote this book for you.

[LeoEarth]

I will recommend this to all my students. I am sure they will benefit from it. thanks for all good work.

[carolinathevampireprincess]

Also there’s no right or wrong number. For me I’ve been using the 35 minutes for working on a task, and 15 minute break and as long I use it properly it has been working effectively. And I’m pleased with what I can stick to doing which leads me for more time to not be productive, relax, and keep my mind refreshed.

[bidielzeros]

Hi, great video, I really hope this project grow up and I wish u the best :)

[abdulhadiluthfi]

Great explanation! The pomodoro technique works well for me, but i didnt really know why till now. So brain is like muscle, that need time to recover when doing work

[Solo]

I can't even finish the half of that text book in my entire life time. :'D

[cashphattichaddi]

Great video! Thanks for describing in detail. :-)

I can work for 40 minutes straight before I need to take a break. That's usually when the guards show up, and I have to act like I'm sleeping or reading in my cell. By the way, my five-minute breaks consist of episodes of socratica. So, could you make your programs a little shorter? I really enjoy your channel, and I've learned a lot of stuff that will probably be helpful once break out... oops I mean leave the facility. thank you.

[georgiosdoumas]

Maybe it would be nice for newbies to study for 22 minutes and take 8 minutes brake, for a few weeks until they increase their discipline and strengthen their mind, and then move to 25/5

[syedsaim]

I love listening you and i watch all your videos they are amazing...
