Taking Breaks

Setting time for breaks

Time specific breaks

• the "Pomodoro method"
  • a 5 minute break every 25 minutes

Intuitive breaks

• take a break any time you feel like your brain is going on "auto pilot" mode. It's important to retain information, not solely written out

Consider...

• Eating some (preferably healthy) snacks during the break
• Walking around or do some light exercise
• Not using electronic devices (a form of distraction)
