Learn about the Pomodoro method and how to use Study Bro to optimize your learning and work productivity
What is Pomodoro?
Pomodoro is a simple time management method that helps you work and study efficiently by breaking work into 25-minute sessions called a Pomodoro. In each session, you focus completely on a single task. Then, take a 5-minute break to relax and recharge.

Focus on work
Focus on work until the timer rings, without interruption.
Short break
Take a 5-minute break, you can stand up and move lightly or relax your mind.
Repeat & long break
Repeat the cycle. After 4 Pomodoro sessions, take a longer break of about 15-30 minutes.
Why use Pomodoro?

- Avoid being overwhelmed when working long hours
- Easy to measure and manage work progress
