To Study
The method encourages short bursts of manageable chunks of work with breaks built in between. Pomodoro timers are broken into cycles. One 25-minute session + one 5-minute break is one cycle. To start a cycle: Click the Study button and click
Start, when the timer goes off hit
Reset and then click the Short Break button and hit
Start. Get up, grab a drink, move around. After your break, click
Reset and then click Study and click
Start to start the next cycle. Make sure that after 4 full cycles you take a longer break of 20 minutes to help recover from intense burst sessions. If you need to interrupt a cycle, click
Stop and then
Start to resume your cycle.
