*deep breath* okay.  (╮°-°)╮┳━━┳ ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━┻

POMODORO TECHNIQUE:

      So the rundown is.. choose a task, set the timer to 25 minutes (pomodoros), after each pomodoros, you take a 5-10 minute break, after you take 4 pomodoros, you take a 30-60 minute break. Repeat until satisfied. Here is the official website. 

      This technique is designed to:

Improve your reading speed.

Track assignments.

Write papers.

Break down large tasks (like drafting a research paper) into smaller steps.

P.S this is what the website says. I find it extremely helpful for time management.

What You Should Use it For:

Projects

essays

studying

anything that takes a longer period of time than usual

just break it down to small tasks!!!

What You Shouldn’t Use it For:

math/ science homework

homework you can get done within a short period of time

homework that is due tomorrow

of course do what you want, adjust to your needs!!!

Apps:

I chose 

my fave free ones because we all broke student with no cash.

Pomodoro/Focus Keeper (ios): Basic features of pomodoro timers. Attractive and light interface. Great getting-started tutorial. !transitions! from break to work timers automatically.

Pomodoro Time (ios/android/window): Has statistics + the basic features. Slightly less attractive than the pomodoro keeper in my opinion. To-do list is neat. It is full of easy to use features.

FocusNow(ios/android/window): Forest but for pomodoros! It’s my favorite one in terms of productivity because it’s really fun and useful. I am addicted to collecting the trees tbh. It’s so cute omg.

Seriously, just choose any timer you like that can set to 25 and 5 minutes. These are all just specialized ones.

Break Ideas:

I made a guide here. 

Printables:

This week’s printables is a simple pomodoro planner. You fill in the task and color in the printables, giving you the satisfaction of checking it off each time.It’s simple and minimalistic. ps. the dropbox version looks a little glitchy but I promise it works just fine.

Long post, sorry! D:

I’m so sorry Anon but this was all I could see after I read your message! I haven’t drawn anything goofy in a while,either, so this happened :D

I like to think that Archie is a very caring soul, but can’t quite get it right when outwardly displaying it  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Based on this first prompt I answered!
