The ideal study to break ratio depends on your focus, stamina, and the material you're studying. However, research suggests a few effective methods to try:
Pomodoro Technique: Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5 min break. After four cycles, take a longer 15–30 minute break. This keeps focus sharp without burnout.
52/17 Rule: Work for 52 minutes, rest for 17 minutes great for those who prefer longer sessions.
Experiment with these (or adjust them) to see what works best for you. The key is balancing productivity with rest. Good luck, Luke!
