Publisher Description
Have you ever studied/worked for hours and found that you didn t make the progress you thought you should have? You re not alone. It turns out that you were studying/working harder, not smarter. A number of studies show that studying intensely without a break is actually counter-productive. Taking short breaks at prescribed intervals can lead to increased output, that leads to improved results with less effort. ****Don t take it from us, go ahead and read more about this research by the experts themselves: (Links found at the bottom of the description)**** - We ve created this app to help you take advantage of this phenomenon and use ProductiviT to work smarter, and not just harder, without having to understand the science behind it. - ProductiviT is an App based on well documented research that you can maximize performance by taking breaks of specific duration at predetermined intervals. We believe that in a world full of distractions, ProductiviT can help you accomplish your goals more efficiently. Using ProductiviT, you'll study or work on your goal for a specified amount of time (we call this a "Work Segment" - many recommend 25-30 minutes), followed by a short break to recharge (we recommend 1-5 minutes). You'll repeat that cycle until you've accomplished your goal (we think you'll be amazed how much more you accomplish in the same amount of time). Easy to use: - Set the number of "Work Segments" you want to do for the day. - Set the duration of time to spend on each "Work Segment" **(many recommend 20-25 minutes) - Work/study until the timer goes off - Enjoy a short break after every Work Segment (customizable) **(many recommend 1-5 minutes) - Enjoy a long break after every few Work Segments (customizable) Customizable features: -Start/Pause/Skip/Restart buttons -Don't want to look at a clock?

(Don't want an alarm sound? Keep it muted.) - Set ticking clock noise on or off in the background - Set how long the short breaks will be - Set how long the long breaks will be - Set how many "Work Segments" you want to accomplish between each long break - Choose to turn notifications on or off to alert you when a break or a Work Segment begins and ends -Close the app whenever you want and you can still receive notifications. *Upon purchasing ProductiviT, you will also receive: The ProductiviT calendar, which allows users to monitor their progress at a quick glance. you ll see: -Which days you completed your daily goal -Which days logged into ProductiviT but did not complete your daily goal -Which days you did not log into ProductiviT Tap on a calendar day and have access to see: -Your number of completed Work Segments for that day -Your total time spent accomplishing Work Segments each day -The number of times you pressed pause for that day ****Published Research from the experts: 1) http://www.news.illinois.edu/WebsandThumbs/Lleras,Alejandro/Lleras_sdarticle-17.pdf 2) http://caps.ucsd.edu/Downloads/tx_forms/koch/pomodoro_handouts/ThePomodoroTechnique_v1-3.pdf 3) http://www.udel.edu/PT/PT%20Clinical%20Services/journalclub/caserounds/02_03/nov02/McleanL.pdf *ProductiviT is not directly associated with any of the parties above*
