There are six steps in the
Pomodoro Technique:
Decide on the task to be done.
• Set the timer to 25 minutes.
• Work on the task until the timer rings. If a distraction pops
into your head, write it down, but immediately get back
on task.
• When the timer rings, take 5 minutes break – and move!
• After 3 or 4 sessions of 25 minutes, take a longer break of
15–30 minutes.
Sleep, learning, and memory are complex phenomena that
are not entirely understood. However, animal and human
studies suggest that the quantity and quality of sleep have a
profound impact on learning and memory.
Research suggests that sleep helps learning and memory in
two distinct ways.
First, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention
optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently.
Second, sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of
memory, which is essential for learning new information.
