Depending on the task do 25-45 minutes work and then take a break for 5-10 minutes.
This will improve your focus and productive and helps prevent study burnout.
When i take study breaks i find walking around my room a bit helps, if you’re going to struggle with motivation to get back to studying like i do using this then put on a song and at the end of it you get back to studying (works for me!), you could also go get a drink to make sure you stay hydrated.
