The Pomodoro technique is a excellent way to achieve productivity and focus in a school or work environment. Here are some ways to detox and refresh during a short break of a Pomodoro session.
Tip: Avoid using your break to check social media, play a phone game, or text a friend. You’ll find it much harder to stick to your designated break session, and the time is much better used stepping away from all electronics, to give your brain a detox.
Exercise/Stretch
Go on a short walk
Take a few deep breaths of air on your front porch
Do a quick yoga session
Do some chair stretches— no one says you HAVE to get up
Staying Productive
Complete a shorter task on your to-do list — keep the productivity coming!
Do the dishes — they have to get done anyway
Start a load of laundry
Write a quick note or letter that you’ve been putting off
Refresh
Fill up your water bottle
Use the restroom
Find a quick and healthy snack — find something with protein!
Remember to stick to your designated times for the best amount of productivity! Good luck, and have a wonderful and productive rest of your day!
