8 Productivity Methods People Swear By (That You Might Need RN)

The Pomodoro Method is, in some ways, similar to timeboxing — it's all about breaking up your work day into manageable chunks. Some say Pomodoro makes them incredibly productive.

Basically, it comes down to this: You work for 25 minutes, take a five-minute break, and repeat for four sprints, after which you take a longer break. It's that simple.

You can, of course, adjust the times to suit you if you feel 25 minutes is not long enough to finish the first chapter of your thesis, re-write that report, or do your monthly budgeting.
