A Japan-inspired way to study

The Pomodoro Technique is Italian, but the focused, minimal study style many students love comes from Japanese study culture: quiet desks, long study sessions and calm surroundings. Pair this timer with a tidy desk and lofi music to recreate it at home. Learning Japanese? It is a great timer for kanji and vocabulary review sessions too.
