“The Pomodoro technique is based on chunks of 25 minutes (=1 Pomodoro), which you devote to a specific task. Once you complete the 25 min. Pomodoro, you take a small 5-minute break. And when you complete four Pomodoros in a row, you take a longer break.”
I use the Pomodairo app to keep me on track and help me break down the beast into 25 min. manageable goals.

I take a topic and estimate how long it will take me to cover. (Inventory review 1.5 hours lecture/notes = 3 pomodoros).
If I finish the topic with time to spare in that Pomodoro, then I review until the timer sounds.
Then the second part of the same topic Inventory questions 1 hour (2 pomodoros).
If it takes me longer to than the estimated Pomodoros to get through a task, the app allows you to add as you go.
I add these tasks into the app and start the timer.
Force myself to take a 5 minute break when required.
During the breaks I may check the forum or grab a bite to eat. Maybe do jumping jacks or answer texts.
The key is to focus hard core for those 25 min. with NO distractions.
Then use the timed breaks to do all the little stuff that gets you off track. But when the allotted time is up, and the alarm sounds, get back to the task at hand.
This allows you to focus and retain info. But also gives your brain a break.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
