Study in focused blocks, not marathons
Cramming for hours feels productive, but long unbroken sessions are hard to sustain. Many learners find it easier to stay sharp when study is split into focused blocks with real breaks between them. A focus timer makes this simple: you commit to one subject for 25 minutes, then rest. The countdown removes the constant “should I stop now?” decision.
Flowglass was designed for exactly this. Pick the Study skill, choose Pomodoro, and press start. The hourglass drains as you work so you always have a calm sense of how much time is left, and every finished block earns XP toward your next level.
Track time per subject
Every finished session is logged to a skill, so at the end of the week you can see exactly how many hours went into studying versus everything else. Seeing real numbers is motivating — and honest. If you planned ten hours of revision and only logged four, the Statistics view will tell you before your exam does.
Because Flowglass needs no account and runs in the browser, you can start in seconds on a library computer, your laptop, or your phone. There is nothing to install and the timer is free. Your history stays private on the device you use — export it from Settings whenever you like.
A simple study routine to try
Try this: three Pomodoros before lunch, three after. Put your phone in another room. Use breaks to move, not to scroll. Over a five-day week, that is thirty focused study blocks — and a daily streak to protect. Start your first block above, and when you want a deeper session, try the deep work timer.
