Pomodoro
Short, time-boxed work intervals (commonly 25 minutes) followed by brief breaks. Useful for reducing avoidance, structuring open-ended tasks, and making time visible. See the full Pomodoro guide.
Deep work
Longer, distraction-minimised sessions (often 60–120 minutes) intended for cognitively demanding work. Suited to writing, problem-solving, design, and learning unfamiliar material.
Spaced repetition
Revisiting material at increasing intervals to strengthen long-term recall. Particularly effective for vocabulary, definitions, formulas, and other memorisable content.
Active recall
Practising retrieval — testing yourself rather than re-reading — to build durable understanding. Pairs well with spaced repetition.
Focused practice
Deliberate practice on the parts of a skill that are weakest, with prompt feedback. Strongest when sessions are short, focused, and frequent.
Individual variation
No single method works equally well for every learner, subject, or situation. We encourage users to experiment, observe what works, and adapt. Methods can be combined: deep work for drafting, Pomodoro for revising, spaced repetition for memorisation.
