Choosing a block length

There is no single correct study interval. The three below are the ones that keep coming back in the research and in practice; the difference between them matters much less than taking the break at the end. Press any row to load those lengths.

Pomodoro · best for shallow or fragmented work
52/17 · best for admin and longer reading tasks
90-minute blocks · best for writing, coding and problem sets
How long should a study block be?

Start with 25 minutes and a 5-minute break if you tend to get distracted, and move to 52 or 90 minutes if you can already hold attention without drifting. Press a row in the table above and the focus and break lengths are set for you.

What happens if I get interrupted mid-block?

Note the interruption on paper and handle it after the block, unless it genuinely cannot wait. If it cannot, pause the timer rather than resetting it — the round you have already done still counts, and resetting trains you to abandon blocks at the first distraction.

Does it track how much I studied?

It counts completed rounds and shows the total focus time for the session, so you can see the streak grow without keeping a separate log. Nothing is uploaded anywhere; the count is in the page.

Can I use it for revision rather than homework?

Yes — that is what the rounds are for. Give each block a single named topic, so the timer's name field reminds you what this block was meant to cover, and the tab title carries it while you work.
