Study Timer
Set a length, start it, study. The countdown holds the boundary so you are not deciding every four minutes whether to keep going.

Timed study works because it converts an open-ended evening into a series of decisions you have already made. The length matters less than the fact that it was chosen before you sat down. It opens at 25:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Match the length to the material: short blocks for memorising, long ones for essays.
- Rotating subjects between blocks feels worse and works better than staying on one.
- Count completed blocks rather than hours; the number is usually humbling.
Getting the most from the study timer
- Choose the length before you open the bookDeciding mid-session is how study time leaks away. Pick it now and the only remaining question is which topic.
- Close everything that is not the subjectOne tab, one book, phone in another room. The block is short enough that nothing needs answering inside it.
- Recall before you re-readSay or write what you remember first, then check. Re-reading feels productive and is the weakest way to revise.

Questions people ask
What is the best study timer length?
Twenty-five minutes suits most people, forty-five to fifty for essays and problem sets, and fifteen when you are tired and just need to start.
Is the study timer free to use?
Yes, with no account and no limit. Nothing about your session is stored on a server.
Should I study in one block or several?
Several, with breaks. Spacing the same total time across a week produces better recall than one long sitting.
