So true! We're always taken aback how well this technique works for us. It's a little frustrating, actually. Why can't our brain work that way all the time? 😂
Did you know a little tomato could help you be a more efficient student? We were surprised how well the Pomodoro Technique worked. What techniques work for you? We want to hear!
hi socratica, can you give some examples of what not to do during a pomodoro break? i love to go on youtube during my break but i dont know if its a good thing to do.
I use pomodoro timer and set a goal to do pomodoro for at least 7 times a day so at least I success in studying 2 hours a day 😄😅😅😂 it sounds less but I never did that longer so it is a big achievement for me 😄
I'm high on the adhd scale, so this is just a basic study technique for me, but I do 15/10 minute cycles with some give or take based on how my personal energy feels. But for my brain break time needs to be about half the time the study cycle was.

Also there’s no right or wrong number. For me I’ve been using the 35 minutes for working on a task, and 15 minute break and as long I use it properly it has been working effectively. And I’m pleased with what I can stick to doing which leads me for more time to not be productive, relax, and keep my mind refreshed.
Great explanation! The pomodoro technique works well for me, but i didnt really know why till now. So brain is like muscle, that need time to recover when doing work
This technique is perfect to work on if you are distracted! We're so glad we could help. Best of luck to your son and please keep us posted! We'd love to hear how he's coming along.
I can work for 40 minutes straight before I need to take a break. That's usually when the guards show up, and I have to act like I'm sleeping or reading in my cell. By the way, my five-minute breaks consist of episodes of socratica. So, could you make your programs a little shorter? I really enjoy your channel, and I've learned a lot of stuff that will probably be helpful once break out... oops I mean leave the facility. thank you.
Maybe it would be nice for newbies to study for 22 minutes and take 8 minutes brake , for a few weeks until they increase their discipline and strengthen their mind, and then move to 25/5
We're so glad you are enjoying our videos! We do have a cafepress site where you can order one of these sweatshirts. We'd be thrilled to know you're wearing one! Here's the link: bit.ly/28MnOoc And here's the grey sweatshirt: www.cafepress.com/socraticastudios.1636726762 Thanks for watching! :)
This technique worked super well for me studying for a difficult exam that I passed this week (woohoo!). I was able to do more study cycles with pomodoro, but the breaks were critical. I would love it if Socratica created a Pomodoro app. The ones I've found are either overcomplicated or vaguely negative/insulting 😝
@@Socratica I would pay for it, just saying. Especially if common-sense mentor lady or SQL python robot lady said encouraging things in the longer breaks 👌⚡
descobri o canal em português hoje... e eu devo dizer.... seu inglês é tão perfeito que eu pensei que vc era americana... minha nossa.... como pode? vc mora nos EUA ? ou morou por certo tempo? EU AMEI o canal.. tanto esse inglês como o português... estou fazendo facul de física e seus vídeos ajudam MUITO! Muito obrigado! :)
EU NÃO ACREDITO Q VC É BRASILEIRA Vc com certeza tem q gravar um vídeo falando como vc conseguiu ter essa dicção perfeita em português e em inglês!! ❤️
I have a later edition of that textbook. I've had to do 3 chapters of it in a night or two before (Such procrastination is why I'm here ). No way was it as short as 3 hours.
Thanks for the super helpful video on such an awesome technique. Its kind of amazing that doing something as simple as planning your breaks/time wasting you can increase your productivity dramatically. Definitely think the tip you gave about preparing everything you need to start your work was really smart. There were many times when I found myself wasting precious study time looking for things/getting water or coffee. Thanks for that! I found that the Pomodoro Technique resulted in an almost instant boost in my productivity. It resulted in better grades, getting more done, and ultimately getting accepted into an awesome medical school. 100% Recommend trying it if you're on the fence. One thing that wasn't mentioned here is that doing a ton of Pomodoro rounds can be pretty taxing so it is important to take lengthy breaks after about 7-8 rounds. Go workout or something so you can be fresh again to knock out more work. I post similar videos to this one on my channel if so feel free to check it out! Best of luck to all of you out there! We're all going to make it!
We're so glad you enjoyed our video - we love to hear how people are making the Pomodoro Technique work for them! Definitely DID mention taking a longer break after a while - very important!! Be well friend!! 💜🦉
25 minutes. That's so funny to me because I've been known to work on my Human Rights Activist work for over 24 hours at a time. I wish I were kidding, but I am not. At one point, as the sun was coming up late Spring 2010, I finally snapped out of it and realized I had not even used the restroom for over 12 hours! I did end up sending off a huge FedEx to our Legislators that same day. Still don't have our new laws, but it's not over yet.
How you ever though to read the subtitles in English? I'm studying English too and it helps me a lot. I also have some apps that help me. If you want to try and speak with me, write me a comment, I will be so happy to speak with you!
Had to check for myself to get the validity of the time it takes before my mind would wander while studying. I'd set up a stopwatch or be aware of my start time. I found that on average, my mind would wander at approx. 22mins.
Although 25 mins is by far the most common, I have seen other places advise a 45 +15 split for slightly more complicated subjects. What does socratica think about that?
Interesting idea...sounds like people should test it scientifically! From our experience working with high school and college students, it's a rare person who can stay focused for 45 minutes.
I'm looking forward to trying this technique. I bet you guys were successful students and know all the best studying strategies so I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
We're so glad you are watching! Welcome to Socratica! We use the Pomodoro technique all the time when we are working! It's really quite amazing how well it works. We typically do 25 minutes of work, then 10 minutes off, 25 minutes on, 10 minutes off, until we finish a task. It works so much better than trying to edit a video for 4 hours straight!
Great video. Bravo. I am hypothesizing that 30 minutes can increase gradually provided a consistency is accompanied. Practice makes perfect. (Maybe not perfect, but certainly better)
What do you think about, instead of taking a break, switching to another topic of study. For example, 30 min of math followed by 30 min of comp. sci. followed by 30 min of history etc?
It's an interesting idea....there is a drawback to multitasking that it actually takes a lot of mental effort to switch focus. We're actually writing an episode on multitasking now...lots of competing ideas about it. The consensus is that you definitely can't do two things simultaneously, but switching back and forth works for some people... Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Weird...I was doing this before I started this video...finishing a 200 page book in two days... I have all these TH-cam videos lined up...the real distraction comes from not finding a TH-cam video for the right content to satiate my mind.
Thanks for mentioning you can use this technique for other things like cleaning your room. It sure looks like a Tornado touched down in here! Gotta go… and get busy! I’ve got my work cut out for me!
I have two questions. 1. Should I take notes simultaneously while reading? Or could I do that after I completed reading a chapter or a concept? 2. Could I take some time in the 25 minutes I study to recall what I've studied?
Que inglês lindo. Eu vi no Google que você não nasceu no Brasil e nem passou a adolescente aqui. Poderia falar um pouco sobre isso aqui msm nos comentários? Quantas línguas você fala? Ter morado em países te ajudou?

Hello I memorise things easily but I forgot easily . WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE SOCRATICA
Seems hard to stop study at 25 mins when on a roll, but I'll try
Socratica could you put subtitles in Spanish? I'm learning English and i want to understand better, please.

25 times 4 is 1 hour.... My history class alone takes one hour... I still have English, physics, math, and French.
