What is a study timer?

A study timer is a countdown timer designed for academic work. You set a study duration, start the timer, and focus on your material until the session ends. It helps maintain concentration and structure study sessions.

How long should I study before taking a break?

Research suggests 45-50 minutes of focused study followed by a 10-15 minute break. Some prefer shorter 25-minute sessions. Experiment to find what works best for your concentration and the subject matter.

Is this a Pomodoro timer?
