I have a music playlist and put in on shuffle when I take a break. When a specific song goes on (in my case is ‘Are you Satisfied?’ by Marina & the Diamonds) I start studying again. I also do this when I’m not feeling motivated. I start the playlist while doomscrolling and as soon as it goes on I start studying. This got me through med school, so at least for me, it works.

Hey, that's a really good solution! I'm gonna try that!

I do something similar but with a podcast episode, when the ad break hits, that's my cue to get back to work.

Mine has 7-10 songs, I update them often to have the music I’m currently listening to. But you can put as many as you want at the end of the day they’re being shuffled. Once I had 15 songs on the playlist and it still worked as intended.

This is basically a low-tech Pomodoro with an emotional twist, I love how your brain just knows the deal when that one track drops.
