Studying can feel like a marathon, and our minds drift after a while. The Pomodoro Technique breaks that marathon into focused sprints: 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break. After four sprints you take a longer rest of 15 to 30 minutes. This rhythm keeps your brain fresh and stops fatigue from building up. During each 25-minute sprint, use active recall - try to answer questions or summarise what you just read without looking at the book. This forces your brain to retrieve information, which strengthens memory far better than simply rereading. The break lets you stretch, hydrate, or breathe before the next sprint. By pairing timed sprints with active recall, you turn passive reading into an active workout for the mind. You will notice better focus, quicker revision, and less stress before exams. The method is simple, needs only a timer, and fits into any daily schedule.
