Why a 15 minute study timer works
- Beats an unfocused hour
- One topic per block
- Three blocks make a solid evening
Short study survives tired evenings, which is when revision usually collapses altogether. A completed fifteen minutes protects the habit better than an abandoned hour.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0-2 | Skim what the topic is meant to cover |
| 2-11 | Recall onto blank paper without looking |
| 11-15 | Check the notes, mark what you missed |

Questions people ask
Is studying for 15 minutes actually worth it?
Yes, and it is the length most likely to happen on a tired day. Short spaced sessions are consistently better for recall than one long cramming block, and a fifteen minute session is easy to repeat.
Is it better to study in short or long blocks?
Short blocks spread across days beat one long session for recall, because the gaps force your memory to retrieve rather than recognise.
How often should I use the 15 minute study timer?
Daily beats long. Three short sessions spread across the week produce better recall than one session of the same total length, because the gaps force your memory to retrieve rather than recognise.
