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.

  1. Start your sprint (25 minutes by default) and write one clear task.
  2. Focus; mute by default; camera check‑ins are optional.
  3. 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.

Self-explanation closes knowledge gaps

Explaining each step while solving problems helps you catch errors early and build durable understanding.

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.

Spacing helps you retain more

Distributed practice over multiple sessions leads to better long-term retention than cramming. Plan repeat sprints across the week.
