How it works

A Pomodoro with a learning loop.

The Pomodoro method breaks study time into focused intervals and short breaks. This version adds retrieval practice between them, so you pause to recall what you learned before giving your mind a real rest.

01

Focus

Work on one clear task for 25 minutes. Silence distractions and avoid switching topics.

02

Retrieve

Recall the main ideas from memory. Only check the material or your notes if you absolutely have to.

03

Rest cycle

No phone, videos, or social media. Look away, stretch, breathe, and simply relax.

Make it fit your day
