Ever look into the pomodoro technique?[1]

I use it with the pomotodo app: https://pomotodo.com/

Give it an earnest try for ~3days, I'll bet you're addicted by the end of it.

Variation on the pomodoro theme: Zen Programming. Coders code for the long pomodoro beat and meditate during the 5-10 minute short break.

What a coincidence, I’m waiting for my tomato timer to arrive! I am definitely trying this, thanks

Are you waiting on a hardware timer to use for Pomodoro? because there a lot of software software Pomodoro timers available (e.g. "https://tomato-timer.com/"). Since most of my study is on the computer (Coursera, edX, etc.) a Pomodoro app fits perfectly into my study workflow.

I actually prefer hardware because I find phone timers distracting (i.e. I start procrastinating on the Internet!)

I do agree with you. Actually, excuse my shameless plug, I am selling "hardware" pomodoros https://PomodoroHourglass.com
