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.
