Study Room for Ucla Engineering
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.
- Start a 25‑minute sprint and write one clear task.
- Focus; mute by default; camera check‑ins are optional.
- Take a 5‑minute break; 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.
