BRAIN BREAK: Additional tools

The Pomodoro technique is a great tool to help you focus better when studying. Next time you need to study, try out the Pomodoro technique which is a structured series of shorter periods of focus that builds in time for your brain to take a break. Here's the general structure: 

1. Select a single task to focus on
2. Set a timer for 25-30 min. and work continuously until the timer goes off
3. Take a productive 5 min. break-walk around, get a snack, relax
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for 4 rounds
5. Take a longer (20-30 min.) break
