Focus for 15 seconds!
To get in a deep learning state, focus on the cat for 15 seconds.
Short pauses between practice bouts, inspired by gap / micro-rest research. Research on skill practice found compressed neural replay during short waking rests (Buch et al., Cell Reports 2021). That’s motor sequences in the lab — not a guarantee for every study session. Read more in our blog post.
Studying with random micro breaks had these benefits in a research setting:
Start the microbreaks timer, and at random intervals you will
be prompted to take a microbreak. Close your eyes, think of
nothing for a few seconds, and continue working or studying
after the beep.
Optionally, use the visual focus and attention exercises prior to your session.
Inspired by peer-reviewed motor-skill rest/replay research (Buch et al., Cell Reports 2021). Not a medical device; results vary.
To get in a deep learning state, focus on the cat for 15 seconds.
This exercise will help you become more alert, by stimulating an increase in adrenaline. Deep breathing has been shown to have a positive effect on attention.
