For those who have difficulty minimizing how much they procrastinate and are unable to focus, the Pomodoro Technique is one tremendous way to solve your problems. Here's a very simple explanation of how it works:
- Work for at least 25 minutes - if you can do more, that's great, but begin with setting your timer for 25 minutes.
- No interruptions - make sure you don't distract yourself by keeping your phone or gadget beside you while studying. Essentially, you are establishing good habits if you can do this.
- Focus! - Focus intently and don't get distracted by other things.
- Reward yourself! - After you have completed your task, provide yourself with a reward - slightly transition from the focused to the diffuse mode.
