Study Tip: 

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that can help you stay focused and avoid burnout. Here's how it works: 

Set a timer for 25 minutes. This is your "pomodoro" interval. 
Work on your task without distractions. 
Take a 5-minute break. 
Repeat steps 1-3. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (usually 15-30 minutes). This method helps you break down tasks into manageable chunks and gives your brain a chance to rest.
