🌱9 killers of our mental growth🌱

Statements "This is boring." This phrase kills curiosity, which is one of the main stimuli for your cognitive interest. What seems unnecessary to us today, may become a key to new opportunities tomorrow.

Uniformity of consumed information. I.e. reading the same blogs, forums, authors, watching the same shows, communicating with the same people, etc. Expand your circle of interests, avoid stagnation.

Seeking easy ways out. We don't like to burden ourselves - and it's a mistake. Complex situations require a person to focus their mental abilities, thus developing the brain's potential.

Lack of aspirations. If you convince yourself that you have achieved optimal results, your development automatically stops. Avoid thinking that you have climbed high enough. Move forward, desiring more.

Absence of questions. As soon as you stop asking yourself why, you are immediately at risk of falling into a routine. Ask yourself why, for what purpose you are doing this or that. Those who recklessly submit to circumstances eventually become limited.

Refusal of creativity. You think that creative endeavor is not for you. Your confidence is the restraining factor, the boundaries you cannot cross, the enemies of development. Stop limiting yourself, just realize your potential.

Lack of resistance. If you surround yourself with people who always agree with you on everything, it's not always good. Such an atmosphere may be useful for your self-esteem and peace of mind. Truth is born in argument, and diverse contacts do not allow you to be bored.

Refusal of ambitions. Sometimes, after a failure, you do not allow yourself to dream big. Overcome your fear, otherwise your failure will remain with you. Small desires bring small victories, and they do not bring satisfaction.

Lack of role models. Often, we cannot establish our own scale of improvement. However, it is easy to do by orienting yourself to other people. Someone reads a lot, someone is erudite, someone is captivated by an idea - practically every person has a special trait worthy of respect, to which you can strive.

WHAT IS POMODORO AND WHAT DO YOU EAT IT WITH?

First… what is the Pomodoro method?!

The Pomodoro (Italian for tomato) technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the 80s. Cirillo is an author and owner of a consulting company. He created this time managing technique that breaks down your study time into manageable intervals with breaks between each study session. With the countless distractions we have today, there’s no wonder it is still one of the most popular and helpful techniques for increasing productivity!

1. You need to plan your tasks

This will help you gauge how many sessions you will need. Will you be reading? Watching a lecture and taking notes? When planning what I will study, I know that watching a lecture and taking notes will take me sooo much longer than doing a reading or flashcards (less strenuous things). I also know that my core science courses will typically take much more studying time than one of my electives.

Determine what is most time-consuming and plan accordingly. The Pomodoro method is perfect for concentrating on any task, but you want to have in mind the classes that require more focus and time than others.

2. Set a 25-minute timer

25 minutes is only a recommendation and you can increase the time or lower it depending on how long you believe you can stay focused without interruptions. I mean, I don’t recommend you set a 5-minute timer to study and then a 5-minute break. But a session somewhere between 20-30 minutes is great (and how long I set my timer while studying)!

One other thing that Cirillo notes is that this time cannot be broken. You must work the entire 25 minutes without any distractions! One of my favorite ways to cancel out distractions is to:

-Put my phone in another room, or in my closet

-Or use the Forest app, which is a timer app that restricts you from leaving the app while completing work/other tasks. This guarantees I stay on task the whole time I am working!

3. Set a 5-minute timer for a break

Between each 25-minute study session, you need a break. You deserve it! So Cirillo recommends only a 5-minute break in between each study session. Do something that doesn’t bring you stress.

Tip: Make sure you do NOT work throughout the break at all. This break is meant to be a relaxing period to take your mind off of your work.

4. Repeat the process 3 times

This studying technique includes four sessions. So do this same process 3 more times. Work diligently and remember to stay focused.

5. After your 4th session, extend the break time to 20-30 minutes long

Once you have finished your fourth session, take a longer break! This is a huge accomplishment and after you have completed it, you will (and should) be so proud. The longer break allows you to take your mind off of your work and reset so you can get back into it.

Why It Benefits You...

IT WORKS FOR ANY TASK

Don’t think I only use this productivity hack for studying! This can be used while cleaning, organizing, reading, and so many other things! Remember, you can tweak the time frames depending on the task and depending on how much time you have to complete it. This is an amazing life hack that I believe everyone should be implementing to help with time management.

IMPROVES CONCENTRATION

Like I noted earlier, this is a distraction-free strategy! It’s on you to remove the distractions from your sessions, and when you do, you will see significant improvements in your work ethic. This technique was created to allow complete concentration on the task at hand. It will improve your focus, productivity, and concentration.

BEATS PROCRASTINATION

The Pomodoro technique breaks the time down into consumable segments. Would you feel more confident with saying you will study for 2 hours or 4 sessions of 25 minutes? I’m confident I would choose the latter every single time. This technique gives our brains manageable chunks of time to study so we result in more work getting done in the end. So just start working!

REMEMBER TO UTILIZE YOUR BREAKS

It's been a long and difficult work week👩🏼‍🔬.

Tomorrow we have to isolate DNA (urgently!)🧬.

We have to isolate DNA from various biological materials (!)🩸.

I will be doing fragment analysis (RFLP), it is very exciting.

Nanodrop is my new little friend🥽

I have a tough study week ahead of me. I have to do my homework right away📚.

I have to write a paper for publication. I have to complete and defend a practical assignment on zoogeography.

I have to get a midterm on a "big biology practicum"

I have to write a paper on microscopy.

Yes, there's a lot to do.

I had my picture taken today for my lab pass📷.

Yes, soon I will officially be a lab girl👩🏼‍🔬.
