This YouTube short presented an intriguing, simple technique to accelerate learning that seems worth considering and researching.
Could you hazard a guess the length of time between stops. I've got a timer I would love to use as an experiment but he doesn't say how long. Would you be able to take a guess?This YouTube short presented an intriguing, simple technique to accelerate learning that seems worth considering and researching.
One study alternated 10-second periods of effort and rest, but that doesn't seem very practical for real world applications:Could you hazard a guess the length of time between stops.

It's a very interesting idea . Thanks JGeropoulas.
This technique seems to be addressing the neurological structure of the brain, which acclimates (i.e. "falls asleep") quickly in response to routine (e.g. studying, practicing), with these micro-breaks serving to interrupt this auto-pilot mode and reinvigorate active consciousness (i.e. "wake us up"). These micro-breaks are periodic check-in's with the ultimate reality--being in the present moment, "the holiness of true existence".Interesting concept. 10 seconds is a lot less than the traditional pomodoro technique, which is 25 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes of rest. I found this online timer for this technique:

Increase your study effectiveness with the gap technique. Have 10s microbreaks at random intervals with this timerwww.microbreaks.co
