**Quest -** Specialized list of topics for completion of a complex task. Also, called learning path

**Lab -** An individual set of instructions with compute resource provisioned for a fixed duration. Labs cannot be paused. A lab can contain an automated assessment program to verify the progress.

### 3 Paying attention

If you find it difficult to complete the longer labs (more than 45 mins), see [How to use Pomodoro](/season-4/how-to-use-pomodoro.md). Simply,

> * Work in 25 min chunks
> * Take a 5 min break
> * In the break, either take a walk or
> * reflect on the steps you have followed.

#### Table - work timetable

| **First, 25 mins**                   | 5 mins                                | 25 mins                   | 5 mins                        | 25 mins |
