Pomodoro Technique

How to do it

1. Set your tasks. Don't just write 'revise philosophy'. Instead be specific, such as 'make notes from p. 25-6 in philosophy textbook.

2. Set your timer for 25 minutes.

3. Work on your task until the time is up.

4. Take a 5 minute break.

5. Continue working. Every four pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break. 

Why it works

Studies show procrastination does not stem from laziness but avoiding discomfort of staring at a big task. Pomodoro technique forces us to break down big tasks into manageable chunks.

Brain Dump

How to do it

1. Pick a topic

2. In 5 minutes, write down everything you remember about the topic. It can be on a scrap of paper, as a mindmap or you can use the cats and robbers sheets.

3. Check against the textbook or knowledge organiser. What have you remembered? What have you forgotten? Add what you've forgotten in green pen.

4. The next day or a few days later try again.

Why it works

Studies in the classroom and in the lab show that when we retrieve knowledge (actively 'pull' it out of our heads) we remember more than simply passively reviewing it.
