Why a study room helps

Default to action: a shared timer removes “when do I start?”
Light accountability: seeing others focus makes staying on task easier.
Easy invites: send a link; camera optional.

How sprints work

Use the classic 25/5 Pomodoro rhythm to gain momentum quickly, or adjust the minutes whenever your energy calls for it.

Start your sprint (25 minutes by default) and write one clear task.
Focus; mute by default; camera check‑ins are optional.
Take a short break (5 minutes is common); queue another sprint if you’re in flow.

Tips

Make the first step tiny (rename the file, open the doc).
Put your phone face‑down; close unrelated tabs.
Invite one friend—completion rates jump when you’re not alone.

Research

Research-backed study moves

Evidence from cognitive science you can apply inside Study Spaces sprints.

Practice testing beats re-reading

Retrieval practice (self-testing) consistently improves long-term recall compared with passive review. Use short quiz-style checks at the end of each sprint.

Presence of others changes performance

Social facilitation research shows people often perform better on well-learned tasks with others present, but complex tasks can feel harder. Use quiet, timed sprints to keep focus high.
