Lots have people have asked me why I don't seem to take a lot of breaks when I study. In this video, I address this, explain why this works better for me and offer some advice which you might want to take away.
DISCLAIMER: as I mention in the video, I am not advocating for a study routine without any breaks at all. Rather, I offer a new way of looking at breaks which might be able to help increase your productivity. Remember that the most important thing is that you look after your mental and physical health and that you take the time to recharge that you need.

When I was younger, I used to study based on this idea of "flow" without ever realizing what it was. I could study 5 hours straight and not feel "tired." As I got further into university, people kept saying that one has to take breaks. It's proven fact that you can only remember something for so long before it declines so breaks are important. I didn't see that in myself, but thought well it's science right? So I started taking more breaks. I've noticed my productivity and my learning declined dramatically. Seeing this video reminded me of how I used to do school and that I also used to do "productive breaks" instead of the conventional ones. I don't think studying/learning methods are a one size fits all situation. People need to study in their own way. Everyone needs to find what works for them. Thanks for the video and sorry for the long response!

Tldw: •Avoid having breaks as rewards because it will trick the mind into thinking that studying is daunting which is why we take breaks in the first place. (The sawyer effect) •Only have a break when you need it, when you feel that you are performing worse. *make sure that break will help you get back to study stronger. (Ex: exercise, drink tea, have some fresh air) •you can have a sluggish break when you have finished everything.

Actually I think that's a very damaging way to study. Everyone needs breaks. Taking yourself out of studying for just 30 minutes where you don't do anything except which an episode or listen to some music or anything fun, can be enough for you to feel more motivated for studying.

@lara_Penzel 4 года назад

Well I think this can mainly be applied to the type of studying you do. Your course is rather slow pace, hence you enjoy studying because You get to write essays, understand and reflect on things, read books etc. As a third year medical student I can tell you that is very different from e.g. having to learn crazy amounts of Anatomy vocabulary by heart in short amounts of time. If I didˋt take recreational breaks I would have no recreational/fun/free/time with friends or my boyfriend anymore. Also we have a system where we have examens every 3Weeks that you need to pass! Best wishes from Germany.

And there's no harm in just trying out something new. We might just surprise ourselves.

em I can’t speak to medical school as I haven’t experienced that, but as someone in college studying math and the hard sciences, I have found that Ruby’s tips absolutely work the best for me, or else I just get distracted and stop studying. I do think it depends more on the person than their courses

@annikapustelchen 4 года назад

Yes, I also believe that you can put that method down to the nature of Ruby's degree! She doesn't have to know 500+ slides by heart so she can go on for much longer. I study business, modern languages and cultural studies and I see benefits in both techniques. Languages really require maximum focus (learning new vocab. etc.) and I mainly use the pomodoro technique for that. For marketing and any business module that also requires knowing hundreds of slides by heart I use that method as well. But for complex calculations or writing essays you have to give yourself time in order to get into it - obviously. But breaks are important no matter which type of revision you employ

@arshia5916 4 года назад

For anyone who struggles with their screen time and productivity, the biggest tips i have are to keep your phone aside till lunch time. Make a commitment to yourself to do something other than looking at your phone till lunchtime. At lunch you can perhaps use it for a set amount of time Another tip is to not look at the time while studying. This makes your brain think that you need a break cause you've been studying for an hour or half an hour or whatever. Please try using these 2 tips, are definitely gonna help you a lot!

@BananeKiwi199 4 года назад

• Arshia thank you :) sounds good. I don’t have a problem with using my phone too often but I‘m always glancing at the time and start to think „ok, I studied 1-2h“ I can now take a break. Yesterday I helped my little sister study chemistry. I didn’t look at the time and I also didn’t feel any pressure to do well since it’s not me that has to write the exam. Not feeling any pressure I noticed that I actually had fun studying since I didn’t study for school but for myself/ or rather my sister. I wish I could be more at ease when studying for my own exams. I mostly procrastinate because of the fear of doing bad and the pressure. That’s why I see studying as „work“ like ruby mentioned that has to be done even though I‘m actually I really curious person and found myself researching subjects/ topics that interested me for hours without breaks in m free time. It always starts to go downhill when I think „oh I have to do that for school/university“. I once had to read a book at school. I barely skipped through chapters and read only summaries. Years later I stumbled across it again and actually start reading it. It was really good and I only never gave it a chance before because like I said I felt like „I had to do it so therefor it’s no fun but a necessity . :/

You first need to understand the pomodoro, it's used to movivate you to get on the flow and stop procrastinating by setting a period of time you will be working on. It's your choise whether to take a break then the time comes or latter

@persona7506 4 года назад

i don't really use podomoro anymore but as far as i heard and know , it is used more to put you in the work flow by giving you the mindset and you only have to work for 25 minute and then you can take a break . Although when the time comes for you break , if you feel like working more , you can continue or if not ,you can rest for 5 minutes and try again ! Taking that 5 minute breaks depends on your mind state after those 25 minutes of worktime

@kaffeekohi4635 4 года назад

There is no "best way" to study. You have to find out which works for you. Even if enormous studies have been done on which methods are effective, in the end, it won't work if it does not fit you. How do you find out which method works? By studying. Lol. Just.do.it.

@helenawoods 4 года назад

I also think it's important to remember that this strategy works well for Ruby and it could indeed work with other people. But everyone studying needs to check in with themselves first and ask what works best for them before committing to a study/work routine. I personally get a lot of motivation and focus when I take breaks. Doing things that bring me enjoyment and bring me in alignment before working has a better result for me personally. And when I work coming from a starting place of joy/peace/ease/alignment/flow - as opposed to striving/results-oriented, the work quality and efficiency turns out to be 10x better. Everyone works differently. Ruby has a lot of influence, so please everyone just make sure you check in with yourself (your intuition, gut, etc) and see what works for you personally. :)

@ezgi6431 2 года назад

@judegrindvoll8467 4 года назад

Interesting video Ruby. I do think the subject and purpose of a study session needs to be taken into account. The Pomodoro Technique has shown that studying subjects which require enormous amounts of memorization (languages, science, etc) benefit substantially from regular, consistent breaks that might not be necessary say in studying humanities. Equally working on essays does not require as many breaks as effective exam revision, which again benefit from optimizing breaks. Bottom line - if memorization is a core aim of your study session you should consider shorter sessions with a definite delineation between them.

@s7d788 4 года назад

Jude Bell As a physics student I don’t do much memorisation so I benefit from Ruby’s style of study sessions. I take a break when I’m tired (though I make sure not to get exhausted) or when I’m really struggling and getting frustrated with a problem. But problems in math and physics do often rely on a sense of flow which is very important to follow until you either solve the problem or realize you need to try a different approach.

@judegrindvoll8467 4 года назад

frank nades oh yeah I understand that. My subject doesn’t particularly require this technique either, I prefer Ruby’s method. But when I was learning Norwegian where there was so much to memorize I found shorter sessions made me retain much more vocabulary. Like I said, I think it depends on subject as well as purpose.

@mchobbit2951 3 года назад

I am learning French and I don't just sit there and memorize vocab .I also do reading and writing (essays etc.). I tried pomodoros and I did not like it. The breaks are too short to even make a snack and when I did not need a break at all, they annoyed me because I'd just walk around the room and keep looking at the timer to see if I can finally start working again. It also makes study sessions seem never ending. I'd rather finish studying and then do what I want then feel like I am studying all day because you have to pick up studying again after the "break". For vocab, I have Anki set to only give me a certain number of words I find reasonable every day, so I don't need a timer, I will, at any given day have x new cards and x to review. For every else, including grammar, I like to go until I lose focus and/or need food, water, a shower etc. I don't need a timer to tell me that I "need" to take a break when I am in the middle of making Anki cards.

@judegrindvoll8467 3 года назад

@@mchobbit2951 It’s not necessarily about whether you feel like you ‘need’ a break though - it’s about memory retention. The Pomodoro Technique has been proven to be effective when memorization is the key aim of a study session. If writing an essay was my study aim then I would not use this technique. It simply enhances the effect of spaced repetition if that is your goal. There is empirical evidence to back these claims up, it’s not an opinion.

@judegrindvoll8467 3 года назад

And it didn't feel like a chore at all, it was stressful because of deadlines, but other than that I really enjoyed it. I started the day by being on my phone which is not the best, but after I got something light eat and drink I started working right away. I didn't feel like I wasted a day, I didn't take any breaks until I was done (just about 13.5 hours) and then after I showered I played video games with my friends. Sure it's almost 3 am right now, but I really have never felt better about myself. Usually I take a break after half an hour to two hours and then I just never get pack to working.

Oh, I really like this video, such an intelligent advice! And you doing exercise in the vid was just lovely 🙊😊 You said that you treat yourself after you got everything done for the day. It would be really interesting for me to see how you decide what is your work for the day and when you reach a point where you finish it. I, for myself, cant do that. Somehow I only write 3 to 4 to-dos down, but they still take the whole day and I am oftentimes not finished in the evening, so its quite exhausting. So it would be really interesting to see for me how you decide on which things you are working on for today! 😊

This video is one the best videos posted by Ruby so far. I learned so much from this and hopefully productive breaks will sharpen my axe😊😊 It was very helpful and I watched it twice while taking notes and making list of my productive breaks.

This! honestly i think this is the most useful video somebody could watch if they want to stop procrastinating when studying! What i have found to be the best for me is to go to the library and not leave until what i need to do is done, no matter how long im in there for is could be hours, but it really works! I take productive breaks when im there to get coffee and stretch my legs (yes i do lunges in the library is a weird sight lol). Great video Ruby!!

You are my insparation♡ You really inspire me a lot in my studies! From your videos, i studied 7 hours each day! And I felt super productive:)

@unijam5776 3 года назад

this helped me so much!!!! :) i do now understand why pomodoro method seems to help everyone around me but not me, im more the "no break" type but always critisize myself for not doing pauses like the others ppl do. i used to feel guilty or as if im "not studiing the right way" but now i know better. Mindblowing and such a relief

@mckenna2502 4 года назад

I agree with doing things like going outside or crosswords rather than watching tv during breaks, but the research also says that positive reinforcement is the most effective way of shaping behaviours, rewards are not productive when they are things like chocolate or tv which you can’t really have in large quantities, because if you keep using them they will be detrimental over time, but if you are getting a cup of tea or going outside as a reward you are likely to be more productive during your study time, having said that I also think that everyone works differently!

@melissapaablchristensen1655 4 года назад

Thank you for this video! I have been struggling a lot today due to lack of productivity (I have lately figured out that I work far better with a schedule) which eventually resulted in me having a complete mental breakdown. However, this video lifted my spirits and in a sense gave me another chance to turn around this day and make it productive.

@evelynalegre1036 4 года назад

I want to implement this productive breaks into my study routine. I love the idea of treating work as play is really smart. I love the video!!😊😍❤

@bren5356 4 года назад

I used to study like this and it wouldn't work, I just got stressed and anxious. Then I was diagnosed with ADD and they gave me a study plan made just for me: I have to take breaks (NOT ON THE PHONE) every 50 minutes. Now it's easier for me to understand and retain information. I just share this experience cause of course Ruby's method works but it may not work for everyone so don't stress or feel bad if you can't study like this. Remember everyone has a way and the important thing is to discover it and not force yourself to learn in a way that is not made for you :)♡

I think this is exactly the approach in need to studying coming into the third year of my degree. I'm glad I have found this channel.

@michaelamar7341 3 года назад

Thanks Ruby. Now I learned why the way I used to take study breaks actually ruined my productivity. Have a good week!

Can everyone just take a moment to appreciate the amazing editing and creative shots and transitions that she took in this video?

@vidarshi2793 4 года назад

Thank you for this! I definitely think the Sawyer Effect applies to me and after your 8 minutes of advice (that I never realized I needed!) I'm already thinking of healthy productive alternatives to conventional/recreational breaks; I feel more motivated to keep the flow of smart and hard study going :)

@arianajugo5754 4 года назад

YOU'RE RIGHT! All of that always happen to me. Take unnecessary breaks, and after having watch a video or something I don't feel like studying anymore and makes it much difficult to study properly again. I'll try this way. Thank you!
