Most students don't have a motivation problem; they have a context-switching problem. Every glance at a notification breaks deep focus and costs roughly 15 minutes to fully recover. Pomodoros give you a structured way to ignore everything for short, finishable blocks.
Aim for four pomodoros (about two hours) per revision session. After the fourth, take a longer 15–30 minute break. Pair this with the Study Planner so you always know what to work on when the timer starts — wasted pomodoros usually start with "what should I revise?"

Frequently asked questions
Is 25 minutes long enough to actually learn something?
Yes — that's the point. 25 minutes is long enough for meaningful work, short enough that starting feels easy. Long blocks sound productive but most students drift after 40–60 minutes.
Can I use 50/10 instead of 25/5?
Older students and stronger focusers often do better on 50/10. Try both for a week and see which leaves you more done and less drained.
What should I do in the 5-minute break?
Stand up, drink water, look out a window. Avoid your phone — a quick scroll easily becomes 20 minutes and ruins the next pomodoro.
