Have you ever studied/worked for hours and found that you didn’t make the progress you thought you should have? You’re not alone.
It turns out that you were studying/working harder, not smarter. A number of studies show that studying intensely without a break is actually counter-productive. Taking short breaks at prescribed intervals can lead to increased output, that leads to improved results with less effort.
****Don’t take it from us, go ahead and read more about this research by the experts themselves: (Links found at the bottom of the description)****
- We’ve created this app to help you take advantage of this phenomenon and use ProductiviT to work smarter, and not just harder, without having to understand the science behind it.
- ProductiviT is an App based on well documented research that you can maximize performance by taking breaks of specific duration at predetermined intervals. We believe that in a world full of distractions, ProductiviT can help you accomplish your goals more efficiently.
Using ProductiviT, youll study or work on your goal for a specified amount of time (we call this a "Work Segment" - many recommend 25-30 minutes), followed by a short break to recharge (we recommend 1-5 minutes). Youll repeat that cycle until youve accomplished your goal (we think youll be amazed how much more you accomplish in the same amount of time).
Easy to use:
- Set the number of "Work Segments" you want to do for the day.
- Set the duration of time to spend on each "Work Segment" **(many recommend 20-25 minutes)
- Work/study until the timer goes off
- Enjoy a short break after every Work Segment (customizable) **(many recommend 1-5 minutes)
- Enjoy a long break after every few Work Segments (customizable)
Customizable features:
-Start/Pause/Skip/Restart buttons
-Dont want to look at a clock? You receive your very own turtle that will swim across your screen to indicate when your current task is complete.
-Choose from our 5 enjoyable alarms to go off after every Work Segment is done. (Dont want an alarm sound? Keep it muted.)
- Set ticking clock noise on or off in the background
- Set how long the short breaks will be
- Set how long the long breaks will be
- Set how many "Work Segments" you want to accomplish between each long break
