Pomodoro Technique

Maximizing myself during study time is something I had never honestly spent time working towards. Having had good grades all through high school I was never really concerned with improving my mediocre study habits. But after hearing the ridiculous amount of change that the Pomodoro technique can have I am all ready to give some new studying techniques a shot. In the past I have always chosen to give myself some huge amount of time one evening to finish a task, to sit down for 5 hours with all the distractions in the world. Have some show on in the background that I would be half watching, check my phone every time it went off, and let myself get further distracted when I got even the slightest bit bored or side tracked. The Pomodoro Technique is the exact opposite of how I have done my studying my entire life.…

Instead of trying to memorize everything I had to find ways to really learn the information so that I could retain more and be able to reason through concepts better. I stopped making flashcards because it was not the most efficient method to help me retain the information I needed to know in the amount of time that I had to learn it. What had…

give an evaluation of our performance. This is my evaluation for my performance in the show, class, and rehearsals. First, is my evaluation of my performance. My performance as a whole went well. There were few mistakes, but some parts could have looked better. The technique was great for the most part and looked clean. The timing was wrong in the first variation on Friday night.

I first read the phrase in a Louise Penny book, where she wrote about a woman who appeared compassionate and caring, but in fact wanted others to be totally helpless so they would need her.
