Learn 10-20X faster! Get top scores in the MCAT, the GRE, the SAT and every exam under the sun! Crush that interview! Introducing the High Intensity Interval Learning Timer It's like High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), but for your brain ⚡🧠⚡! Science says that humans learn better when we introduce short breaks in between focused study/practice bouts at random. This is commonly referred to as the "gap effects". When we take those short breaks, our brain re-plays the neural patterns of the skill (motor or otherwise) backwards at 10-20X the speed. The result is a great boost in learning speed and retention. With the HIIL Timer, you have the option to explore different focus-to-rest patterns that suit you best. The most studied pattern is 1:1 focus-to-rest ratio (typically 10 seconds of rest per every 10 second of focused practice). This is great for learning new motor patterns like chord progressions and such. Dr Andrew Huberman from Stanford University recommends a 10:1 focus-to-rest ratio at around 10 seconds of rest per every 2 mins of focused learning of the study material. This is really intense, but also really effective for reading or watching videos with very dense material. Ultimately, its a good idea to explore your ideal ratio and focus bout length so you can optimize your study sessions as you see fit. Take control of your study habits down to the minute with the HIIL Timer! How to use: Total Time = How long you'll study/practice for Focus Time = How long you'll focus before the rest interval Rest Time = How long the rest interval will be Then click "Start" and start focusing. The timer will tell you when it's time for a short break with a bell sound and push notification.
