Effective Reading, Writing, and Studying

Anki is a flashcard app. From About Anki: "Anki is a program which makes remembering things easy. Because it's a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn."

Do you tend to procrastinate? Put that sense of urgency to work. The Pomodoro technique can help you focus and break your studying into small, manageable sections. This information provided by W. Patrick Bryan, associate director of the Thrive Center at The University of Arizona.

This is an online timer for the Pomodoro technique. It has 25 minutes for studying, and 5 minutes and 15 minutes for short and long breaks, respectively. To keep track of what you are working on, you can add a task right below the timer. Want the reminder of a ticking noise like a real timer? You can add a slow or fast tick by clicking on Settings at the top of the page.
