I’d like to say pomodoro timers made me successful, but…
In my most challenging year of school yet, I had to buckle down and find a new system. I was floundering under the pressure and deadlines. I needed something to get on track to getting things done. Using timers for work and rest are what finally helped me regain my focus and get my major…
