ACS x HSS x S&E: Pomodoro Sessions: 8th April - 24th May, 3pm - 5pm, Graduate Centre (various rooms)

The Pomodoro Technique involves breaking your work into manageable 25-minute intervals, each followed by a short break. This approach has proven effective in boosting productivity, concentration, and minimising procrastination. Adopting the Pomodoro Technique can help you organise your study sessions efficiently, maintain focus, and prevent burnout. We encourage you to drop in at any time during the sessions, running on Monday and Thursday afternoons, to discover how this technique can positively impact your study routine.
