How do you stay productive during long study sessions?

Hi!

Sometimes I lose focus quickly when studying.

Do you have any simple techniques that help you stay concentrated for longer?

Pomodoro, apps, routines — anything is helpful.

    Everyone is different. 
    For me deadlines concentrate my mind.  The difficulty is in creating real (self-believable)  short-term study deadlines (when the main event is weeks away).  How about a study buddy who you promise you’ll summarise each block of study to?  You could both help each other that way. 
    Also wordless music with sound isolating headphones/buds helps me. Plus turn off / mute notifications.
