Mindful Pomodoro Study Groups and Services

Posted on

Greetings!

Mindful USC and the Kortschak Center for Learning and Creativity are proud to announce a new set of services that combine the Pomodoro study method and mindfulness/self-compassion practices to help you study more effectively with reduced rates of burnout and increased self-care.

The Pomodoro study method is a structured study schedule comprised of 25-minute periods of study and 5-minute periods of rest and self-care. We have infused the rest periods with mindfulness and self-compassion practices that help you determine what you need to take care of yourself during break periods using mindfulness of bodily signals and emotional states.

Tuesdays 2pm to 5pm ORL 108
