Is time never on your side? Can’t seem to make headway with creating a conference poster or writing your thesis? Then the Radcliffe Science Library’s Focus & Finish sessions might be just the thing!
How does Focus & Finish Work?
The session is dedicated time to focus on your work based on the Pomodoro technique. We’ll set a timer for 25 minutes for you to get your head down and do some work. Then you’ll take a 5 minute break and repeat the process. The sessions are designed to provide a short break just when your concentration will be flagging.
What are the benefits?
- You can have protected time in your diary to get your work finished.
- Library staff are responsible for all the timing, so you don’t have to worry about scheduling, timing or breaks.
- Snacks and drinks will be provided. That’s one less thing to worry about.
- At the breaks you can network with other postgrads and get support.
Quotes from attendees
Previously these sessions ran under the name Pomodoro and attendees had some fantastic feedback.
The only thing is the session ended and I wished it had been longer as it was great, I came away with a good amount of work done and feeling focused and motivated.
I really really enjoyed it and can’t wait to attend more. I wish I were always this focused during work hours!
This was my first session, and I found it incredibly useful! I would like to attend more (even weekly)…
