Set a daily study goal and your remaining time shows in real time. The "streak" of days you hit your goal quietly nudges you to keep going. Works in your browser, no sign-up, free to start today.
Don't rely on willpower — build a study habit with the power of goals and records.
Just decide how much to study today. The timer takes care of measuring your progress.
See at a glance how much time is left to your goal, so that last push really lands.
The days you hit your goal are recorded in a row, and not wanting to break the streak sustains the habit.
Add your study tasks and clear them one by one. The sense of completion carries into the next.
You don't need willpower if you build the right system. Four principles for making studying stick.
Oversized goals are the doorway to quitting. Start with something you can finish even on a tired day, like 15 minutes. A streak of successes is itself what generates the next day's motivation. When it starts feeling too easy, raise it a little at a time.
Pairing a trigger with an action — “after dinner, when I sit at my desk, I press the timer” — dramatically raises follow-through (if-then planning). The more fixed your study time slot, the closer studying gets to an automatic behavior like brushing your teeth.
An unbroken run of days has a natural pull: you don't want to break it. The longer the streak, the more reasons you have to show up today. And if it does break, no self-blame needed — starting again from day one the next day is continuation too.
“Pass the exam” or “score 90” isn't fully under your control. Your goal should be something achievable by your actions alone, like “30 minutes every day.” Results follow sustained action. Time measured with the timer counts toward your goal automatically — all you do is press start.
