Focus for 15 seconds!
Optional ~15s visual attention exercise — look at the cat and let your mind settle. Product habit, not a study finding.
Short pauses between practice bouts, inspired by gap / micro-rest research. Research on skill practice found compressed neural replay during short waking rests (Buch et al., Cell Reports 2021). That’s motor sequences in the lab — not a guarantee for every study session. Read more in our blog post.
Studying with random micro breaks had these benefits in a research setting:
Start the microbreaks timer, and at random intervals you will
be prompted to take a microbreak. Close your eyes, think of
nothing for a few seconds, and continue working or studying
after the beep.
Optionally, use the visual focus and attention exercises prior to your session.
Inspired by peer-reviewed motor-skill rest/replay research (Buch et al., Cell Reports 2021). Not a medical device; results vary.
Optional ~15s visual attention exercise — look at the cat and let your mind settle. Product habit, not a study finding.
This exercise will help you become more alert, by stimulating an increase in adrenaline. Deep breathing has been shown to have a positive effect on attention.
