Goals only work if you answer to them.
Whatever method we used, both of us set goals before every session and held ourselves to them. A number you have to report back on is what turns time at a desk into real progress, so Cadence builds that into every session.
Commit before you start
Set specific targets (questions, words, past papers) and commit to reporting back honestly before the timer will start.
Keep them in sight
Your goals sit next to the timer the whole session, so you always know what done looks like.
Report the real numbers
At the end you enter what you actually did. Add an accountability partner and tell them your score.
Time isn’t the score.
Two hours of drifting between tabs shouldn’t beat forty focused minutes that hit every goal. You set targets before each session and report what you achieved after. That’s what we graph.
Two Imperial students. Same results, completely different methods.
We’re two students at Imperial College London, one studying Medicine and one Computer Science. Between us: straight A/A* at GCSE, 4 A*s plus an A* EPQ and 3 A*s and an A at A-level, and offers from several of the UK’s top universities.
The interesting part is that we got there studying in almost opposite ways. One of us worked in short, sharp Pomodoro sessions, using AI (Gemini) to generate practice questions to answer in each one. The other worked in Flowtime and blurting, with long, unbroken stretches of coding.
What we did share was the foundation: active recall, clear goals for every session, and lots of past papers. There isn’t one best way to study. There’s the best way for you, for this subject, today, and Cadence is built to help you find it.
Short sprints, endless questions
A*A*A*A* + A* EPQ
Shorter Pomodoro sessions, each one built around AI-generated practice questions to answer from memory.
Long stretches, deep flow
A*A*A*A
Flowtime and blurting, with long uninterrupted stretches of coding.
The shared staples
- Active recall
- Goals set before every session
- Past papers, lots of them
{{methodCount}} study methods. One timer.
Methods without a fixed rhythm take their timings from your subject and energy: short for maths, long for essays, shorter still when you’re tired.
