Superfocus
Search volume for how to stay focused while studying and study timer spikes in exam months. The leak is almost always a second tab: lofi livestreams, “study with me,” or a tomato timer that does not know what you are studying.
Keep sound inside the study timer
Superfocus cassettes exist so rain or lofi does not come with a recommendation sidebar. Pair that with one named task (“Anki deck X, 20 cards” or “problem set 3, questions 1–4”).
Sprint, then pomodoro
Warm up with a short sprint so sitting down is cheap. Then run classic 25/5 pomodoro technique cycles for the material that needs recall. After four, take the longer break Cirillo prescribed — walk, water, no new videos.
Reading vs problem sets
Reading likes slightly longer flow blocks if you keep highlighting to a minimum. Problem sets like 25/5 because each question is a natural unit. Superfocus custom durations let you match the work instead of arguing with a chrome extension.
