    One EASY Study Method For People Who Suck At Studying

    Could this study method really improve your productivity?

    Is studying something you try to avoid as much as you can?

    If your answer is yes, then I've got one heck of a solution for you.

    Ever Hear of the Pomodoro Technique?

    Put simply, the Pomodoro Technique is a method that people use to help them improve their work and study productivity by working in 25-minute sprints with short, usually 10-minute breaks after these 25-minute sprints.

    Not only has the Pomodoro Technique been proven to improve one's overall work and study productivity, studies have also shown that taking short breaks after every 25 minutes vastly improves memory retention.

    So, not only are you going to get a lot more studying done, you're also going to remember a lot more from what you studied.

    Cool, right?

    So, How Does the Pomodoro Technique Work Exactly?

    All you're going to need is a timer, your work and/or study materials and an uninterrupted workspace.

    Step 1: When you're ready to work or study, set your timer to 25 minutes.

    Once your timer starts, your work or studying should start.

    You'll be working or studying for the duration of these next 25 minutes. Avoid checking your phone or zoning yourself out on things that irrelevant to your work.

    It's hard at first, but you can do it (you got this!).

    Step 2: Once your 25 minutes is up, take a 10-minute break!

    Yep, you already get to take a break. And guess what? You can use these next 10 minutes to do whatever the heck you want. (So go on ahead with your bad self and check that Facebook and Instagram feed.)

    Just be sure to reset your timer to go off again at the end of your 10-minute break so that you don't overdo it.

    Step 3: Reset your timer to 25 minutes again, and repeat the process over and over until your work is done!

    Helpful Tip: If you've been doing this for about two hours, and you're not finished with your work or studying, go ahead and reward yourself with a 30-minute break instead of 10 minutes.

    That's it?

    Yep, that's it.

    Now, go on out there and try this method yourself and leave me some feedback. Tell me how the Pomodoro Technique worked for you!
