Using the Pomodoro Technique for evening coaching can help students stay focused and manage their time effectively. Here is a suggested timetable for CBSE higher secondary students during their evening coaching hours, utilizing 25-minute study sessions followed by 5-minute breaks. This method helps maintain concentration and reduces burnout.
Explanation of the Timetable:
1 . School Homework Preparation (6:00 – 7:30 pm):
Use this time to complete your homework at home.
2. Pomodoro Sessions (7:00 – 9:00 pm):
- Each Pomodoro session is a focused 25-minute study period followed by a 5-minute break.
- During the 25-minute sessions, focus on the specific topic being taught by the coach.
- The 5-minute breaks are essential to relax, stretch, or have a quick snack to recharge.
3. Post-study Review (9:00 – 9:30 pm):
- After the coaching session, spend this time reviewing the concepts learned.
- Plan any homework or additional study needed based on the evening’s coaching.
- This time can also be used to clarify any doubts with the coach if needed.
Additional Tips for Effective Time Management:
- Stay Organized: Keep all study materials and notes organized to minimize time spent searching for resources during study sessions.
- Minimize Distractions: Turn off notifications on your phone and other devices during study periods to maintain focus.
- Healthy Breaks: Use breaks to do light stretching, drink water, eat dry fruits and nuts or simply rest your eyes to stay refreshed.
By following this timetable, students can effectively balance their coaching sessions with focused study periods, ensuring better retention and understanding of the material.
