Staying motivated while studying

Motivation dips are normal. Use these tools to restart quickly, focus in short bursts, and build a simple habit that survives busy weeks.

Student restarting study with a plan
Common blockers we see:
  • Skipped a week (or three) and can’t restart.
  • Stuck on a module; confidence dipped.
  • Endless distractions; time disappears.

Quick restart (even after weeks off)

We’ll turn your pause into a 3-day “ladder” (tiny → normal).

Focus sprint timer (25–60 mins)

00:00
Rule: phone face-down, notifications off. Park distractions above.

Mini goals & rewards (dopamine done right)

We’ll split the task into 3 crisp actions and suggest quick rewards.

Accountability (tell someone, finish faster)

Your message will appear here.

7-day habit tracker (tiny daily touch)

Tick the days you did any study touch (even 5 minutes). We’ll remember this on your device.

Build momentum with tiny touches.
