This week in module 7 we learned new ways to stay motivated, and focused. I want to share with you guys a new tool I was introduced to through this module, and how much it helped me.
The new tool I used this week was TomatoTimer. I chose to try out this web tool because I very easily get distracted when studying, and with finals this week I needed to put an end to that. I have always heard that a good way to study is to study for 50 minutes, and break for 10. So, I used the “long break” option on TomatoTimers site to help keep track of my break. This was very helpful because I could see the timer counting down in the tab even when I am not on that page, therefore I can’t use the excuse of “I lost track of time.” I used to sit on my phone for 30+ minutes because the time was not visible to me, but now it is. I would absolutely recommend this for you to try out, because I know a lot of people who struggle with focusing like I do.
If you have any other tools like this that you think would be helpful for me, please share. Thank you!
