Pomodoro

Animedoro

Excerpt from an article by Lindsey Ellefson¹:

Animedoro was created by a med student named Josh Chen, who three years ago uploaded a video explaining how, over the course of four months, he was able to study for 600 hours and still watch 300 hours of anime.

Using Chen’s model, you’ll work for 40 to 60 minutes at a time, then give yourself a 20-minute break to watch an episode of a TV show (or whatever else you want to do to reset).

As with the traditional pomodoro technique, the real key to success is making effective use of your work periods. Knowing you have 20 minutes with your favorite show on the horizon can be a nice motivator, provided you can stick to the plan of working without distractions for the 40 or 60 minutes of focus time.
