>20 mins of fuckoff time
How do you use those efficiently to ensure proper rest? Meditation?

the only problem is my 5-10 min of fuckoff time turns into a 2 hour long binge

>>8898239
Just don't be a puss. Put some caffeine in your face and get it done. After that, all day is an untimed break.

It's called "finding you're own rythm".
It's good u did. Try mess around with the timers on non-important work, see if u can find an optimum division of time.

Before advising it to anyone tho, keep in mind your optimal division is personal, not universal. Mine is 5 hr of work straight, then 2h15 of pause. Friend of mine is at 50min work, 10 min break (observe the much higher ratio ; you don't want to have a the highest ratio, you want to be the more productive that you can when you work.)

Good,to the end of your studies that 45 minutes will me down to 10 to 15 tops.
Use it well.

Fuck off time should not be digital.

It's better to take shorter yet more frequent breaks.

20 on ten off or 15 on five off is what I do.

I never study and barely do homework
The edge of stress is what keeps me alive because otherwise I'd want to kill myself for less valid reasons

I started doing this too. 25 minute work sessions with 5 minute breaks in between. 20 minute breal after 4 work sessions in a row. This just absolutely destroys the need to procrastinate, in my case anyway. It especially helps when you use a physical timer, because once the timer starts running, you feel to need to use your 25 minutes productively.

Anki is really good for keyword:definition modules

I was in the military, so 50 min of work/study and 10 minute breaks work wonders for me.

hey your post number has four eights in it

It's easier to mentally accept just doing small chunks of work at a time, where sitting down with the intent to write a paper all in one sitting just makes my brain dig its heels in.
