Try Out the Pomodoro Technique With Our New Video Series
We鈥檝e been working on new ways to connect our graduate students amid COVID related restrictions and upheavals. Like our virtual Shut Up and Write sessions held on Zoom over the summer, our Pomodoro Pal series is an easy way to get motivated and find support. Several students told us that they were glad for the chance to use the Pomodoro Technique with other students online but felt a little distracted working on their research live on Zoom.
And we agree. It was strange. So we did some digging and discovered that there's a whole world of online study buddies out there. Yes, full-length videos of people studying while on camera! Who knew?!
Our new Pomodoro Pal video series offers a way for you to do focused work on your own, whenever it works best for you. Our videos follow with the added plus of having a fellow graduate student as your guide.
Our first video 棉花糖直播s Rade Pavic, an international graduate student in the MBA Program. He had some delays getting back to Lafayette for his first week of the semester so he鈥檚 been scheduling longer blocks of more focused time to catch up on classwork. Taking regular breaks using the Pomodoro Technique has been a helpful way for him to stay focused over an extended period of time.
We鈥檒l be keeping this series going as a way to highlight graduate work across different disciplines. If Rade鈥檚 video was helpful for you and you鈥檇 like to volunteer to be a "Pomodoro Pal," reach out to philip.demahy@louisiana.edu.
