Study Schedules

[Piotr Jasielski]

I know this thread has been sleeping for over a year now, but I have to ask...

I've been looking into the schedules posted here, is there any reason why most studies end after an hour or so?

And does it mean you have to move on to another piece if the time is up? I've been trying to do these 1 hour studies, and it always leaves me feeling like I have to do 3 more hours on it after the times up.

Human attention span is on average about 45 minutes, that might be a big part of the reason.

I find 30minutes-1 hour studies most effective depending on a subject. But of course it's good to spend more time to polish something up. If you feel like you need more time for a study then by all means use it. Everyone is different, some people like short studies, some like longer. Find what works for you and just do it.
