Why short blocks work. A lot of revision time goes on deciding what to do next and checking your phone. A block with an end makes starting easier: you only have to keep going until the timer rings. Pick one topic before you press Start, put the phone in another room, and let the break be a real break.
Use the blocks for doing, not rereading. Answer questions, test yourself with cards, write out a definition from memory. The IB guide’s chapter Revision that works explains why.
Press Space to start or pause while the timer is focused. The pop-out button floats a small copy over the page, and the countdown shows in the tab title while a block runs.
What it doesn’t do
- It doesn’t sync between devices. Your phone and your laptop each keep their own timer.
- It doesn’t send anything to us. Its settings and your focus time stay in this browser.
- It doesn’t block websites or apps. That part is up to you.
