[Athen] Need Recommendations

[Stager, Catherine]

Agreed - my students appreciate the Pomodo timers too.

Depending upon the source of the distractions, readermode.io and immersive reader are good interfaces on the web.  Any readermode will remove distracting content from webpages.

Any.do is fairly popular - its focus mode is available in Premium.

We are currently exploring the flipd app - it is good for time management and I have had it reported that since you categorize your time, some people get motivated by knowing "1802 other users are studying now."

Matching the tool to how the student already works is the key - hard to start using something that changes how you do things.


Best regards,
Cath

Hi Reem,

My students like any Pomodoro timer app.
Android, iOS, web-based, MS Store each have something like that.
Focus on work for a certain amount of time, say, 15 min. Then take a movement/fun break for 5 min, then resume for another 15 min, and so on.

Sincerely,
Robin
