Effective task management during exam preparation is key. You don’t want to waste time on things that will affect your productivity. Striking the right balance is crucial; you don’t want to overburden yourself with excessive study and neglect fundamental activities such as regular meals, physical exercise, or even participating in social events to alleviate stress. Beyond structuring your time for optimal productivity, the “Focus To-Do: Focus Timer&Tasks” app proves invaluable in addressing procrastination. Its timers provide reminders through alerts or vibrations, assuming your watch is on your wrist, prompting you to complete designated tasks.
So, this app’s timer uses the Pomodoro technique, a method designed to combat self-interruptions like the urge to always check your phone while studying. This technique involves 25-minute intervals of concentrated work, followed by five-minute breaks. You have the flexibility to edit and set intervals according to your convenience. Plus, you can set tasks to repeat, like daily quizzes on topics you’ve studied at specific times each day or on designated days of the week. On the app, you can even color-code study tasks by priority, so you know what needs serious brainpower and what’s a bit more chill. At the end of the day, week, or month, the app provides detailed statistics offering insights into how you spent your time and a comprehensive overview of tasks completed during those periods. The app is free to use but with some in-app purchases.
