Again and again

Quote of the day: “It does feel different. But at the same time, similar.” - Sk8 the infinity. (tip at the end of the blog)

Hello and welcome once again to this blog. It's been a long time and your friend is calmer than ever!...(that's my hopeless try to make an aprils fools joke). Easter break is approaching steadily. It's only 2-3 weeks away and that also means that exams, assignments, and presentations will be showing themselves.

To approach this I had made a schedule which I highly recommend as it definitely helped calm my nerves as if you simply followed what you've planned things will get easier. Sometimes I couldn't really follow it I cherished short happiness over long. Which is okay, sometimes. but definitely should not be a habit. But I'm trying to take that time back. Finals are also coming the date today is 25-04-01 so from today there is only a week left. And yes, the nerves are building up but at the same time I feel almost calmer than expected because if you tried and worked your hardest, if you just put that little effort in I promise you, you will feel better. I will go try to finish my work and cram a little. sorry this blog is all jumbled up... I'm in shambles having so many thoughts in my head after all the things that are coming my way. Haha..ha..haa anyways, to end this on a good note EID MUBARAK!! I forgot to say that yesterday but better late then never! and as I always say... let's meet on a happier note tomorrow bye bye~~

tip of the day: I've tried to do things the minute i feel like it will build me stress, so stop procrastinating. Why worry over it for a long time if you can literally just finish it now and not have piled up anxiety?

Study Better Using The Pomodoro Technique

Read the entire post here ;)

What is The Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique has been developed by Francesco Cirillo. When he was a student, he was trying to figure out the the best way to study. He discovered a way to study more efficient and productive in less time.

How Does It Work?

Your day consists of ‘pomodoro’s’ of 25 minutes. In that time you will focus on one task. You will set a timer for 25 minutes. When the session is done, you’ll have a break of 5-10 minutes. 

According to Cirillo this technique improves your focus, lets you get more work done in a day and makes you deliver higher quality work!

My Own Experience with The Pomodoro Technique

When studying for long hours at the Library or University. I noticed that by the middle of the afternoon I’m often tired and have no focus left. So I was excited to try out this Technique. I used the  app Forest to give this Technique a try.

The effectivity of this technique is really great! Taking frequent breaks and having the timer set gave me the little push I needed when I got distracted in the middle of a session.

‘It is only 25 minutes, I can do that’ is the mindset I found myself in.

This Tecnhique is also powerful if you are having trouble with actually starting with studying. It is a clear and easy to understand method. You do not need to be a good student in order to apply the Technique. Everyone can do this!

The frequent breaks make sure you stay focused on the task you are working on during the sessions.

The app Forest:stay focused

I highly recommend the app Forest:stay focused to use as a timer for your studie sessions, or ‘pomodoro’s’. This is a free app. When you start a study session, the app prevents you from checking your notifications. You cannot open another app until the time is done.

Did you successfully complete a session? Then a tree will be added to your forest! When you cheat and open another app while the session is still going on, your tree will die..

Use a form

I have created a form you can use for the Pomodoro Technique. On the form I created I can track how long I am working on one task, what tasks I am working on and whether I have completed it or not. You can check out The Time Management Form here :)
