Here’s why it’s effective:
Increased Focus: Short, timed study sessions help maintain concentration, reducing the likelihood of distractions.
Better Retention: Breaking study time into smaller intervals allows the brain to absorb and retain information more effectively.
Reduced Burnout: Studying in short bursts prevents mental fatigue, making learning more sustainable over the long term.
Consistent Progress: Regular 25-minute sessions build a habit of continuous learning, leading to gradual but consistent mastery of topics.
Time Efficiency: It’s easier to find 25-minute slots in a busy schedule, allowing learners to make steady progress without overwhelming themselves.
“By taking regular breaks, you maintain high levels of motivation and creativity throughout the day.”
Francesco Cirillo
