DON’T LOSE YOUR COOL

Taking a break can make you more productive. One way is by using the Pomodoro Technique. Set a timer for a predetermined number of minutes – get as much work done as you can, then you rest for another predetermined number of minutes. The inventor of the technique, Francesco Cirillo, suggested a 20-minute focus followed by a five-minute break. You complete two cycles of this before a 15-minute break.
