SOME FAVORITE STUDY/FOCUS RESOURCES
online pomodoro timer - perfect for days where you have several assignments to complete, this timer automatically tracks how many 25 minute sessions you complete, bringing up the five minute break timer between the first three, then the fifteen minute break timer following the fourth.
freedom for computer - this website blocks all but a list of websites you choose for as long as you need it to. iโve found itโs great to keep me on task when drafting a longer essay iโve already done all my research for.
forest for cellphone - iโve linked to the one on the chrome store, but the best iteration of this app is definitely the one to keep you off your phone. something about having a small, fake treeโs life in your hands is very motivating and also frightening. plus, itโs satisfying to look back at your tiny forest after a long week.
quizlet - if youโre a student in 2021 and havenโt used quizlet what legitimately what you doing. while there isnโt the benefit of handwriting out flashcards and itโs a lot less aesthetic, itโs way more convenient for those of us with messy handwriting or who need to study on buses and the like. you donโt have to worry about dropping cards on the gross bus floor
notion - notion is already madly popular on studyblr, with many people making wildly aesthetic setups, but it doesnโt have to be all that complicated! in my opinion, lists are a very satisfying way to ensure you get everything you want to done, and notion is very nice for that. plus yeah the aesthetic arty fancy options are a bonus.ย
friends and family - okay this one is definitely a cop out because itโs not actually a concrete study resource, but iโve found it works really well to make sure my friends and family are holding me accountable. for friends, this means warning them ahead of time if thereโs going to be a few days where they probably shouldnโt try to make plans with me or expect me to be on discord, and for family or roommates this means reminding them to be non-disruptive. donโt be rude to your friends and family though because being a kind person to those you love should definitely should come before academic success.
