Pomodoro: when you shouldn't use it and alternatives

I’m sure many of us have tried (and failed) using the pomodoro method. Here is why I dislike using it and what kind of people should avoid it!

Why I dislike this method

You’ve just tried out this awesome new technique everyone is talking about, but it doesn’t work for you. It’s the pomodoro technique, where you rest for 1/5 the time you study. The most common structure is studying for 25 minutes and resting for 5.

When you try the 25/5 method, you take 5 minutes to focus, so you only end up doing work for 20 minutes. It’s not nearly enough time. You also know you’ll be breaking your concentration when you stand up to have a break. It just isn’t worth it for 20 minutes of work.

And when you try longer variations, like the 50/10 you get too distracted during the breaks.

“It’s 5 already?”

From my personal experience, the pomodoro method is not for:

People who take longer to concentrate

People who get distracted easily

People who have a lot of work to complete in a short amount of time

There are a lot of other alternatives to the pomodoro method for these people:

Flow time and time blocking are great alteratives.

For flow time, you have to grab on to the flow and work and work and don’t stop.

For time blocking, you have to separate your day into different blocks for different activities.

I hope this helped you! Feel free to ask for specific study tips! ❤️
