I am most definitely in the category of one of the most distracted people when it comes to revising. Forever picking up my phone and browsing all the many social media sights. Basically doing anything that isn't revising!
I have found a cool little app in the apple app store for my phone that may just be able to turn me into the worlds best reviser. Well lets face it probably not the best but much better than my current state. The app is called Forest and basically for a chunk of time that you decide to study for you grow a tree. For example if you choose say half an hour a count down will start and your tree will start to grow. However if you leave the app then your tree will die. It's all very sad. So the more you stay focused the more trees you will grow and the more lush your forest will be. At the end of the time period if you have successfully grown your tree you will receive some kind of coins and then you can unlock different types of trees. Very cute.
Being a sucker for gimmicky little apps, I love this. It gives me a motivation for studying (my exams seem to not do this...) and stops me from fiddling around on my phone all the time. Has anyone else used this app?
Time to go grow some more trees!
