You wake up with 16 hours. You go to bed feeling like you studied for 2. Where did the rest go? This tool finds out.
⏱ Takes about 2 minutes — be honest about your day
Enter honest estimates in hours. Decimals are fine (e.g. 1.5 for 90 minutes). All values default to 0.
The tool adds up all your hours, checks how they compare to 24 hours, and separates essential time (sleep, school, meals) from discretionary time (phone, TV, gaming). It then shows how much time you have truly available for studying versus how much you're actually using.
The gap between "available" and "actual study time" is your leakage. Even recovering 1–2 hours a day adds up to 7–14 extra study hours a week.
Most students don't actually know where their time goes. It disappears in small pieces — 20 minutes here, 40 minutes there — until the day is gone. Seeing the numbers laid out makes it concrete. You can't argue with a number.
A time leak is any discretionary activity that takes more time than you realise or intended. Scrolling social media for "5 minutes" that turns into 90 minutes is a classic leak. Passive TV watching, unnecessary browsing, and unplanned chatting all count.
No — that's burnout territory. The goal isn't to eliminate rest. It's to make your leisure time intentional. Plan when you relax, and study when you study. The problem is unintentional drifting, not relaxation itself.
That means you're underestimating at least one activity. The tool will flag this. Try to be more honest — especially with phone and screen time, which most people significantly underestimate.
Some students really do have heavy commitments — work, family, long commutes. In that case, efficiency matters more than quantity. Focus on active recall techniques so every study hour counts more.
Once a week during exam prep is ideal. Your schedule shifts, and so do your habits. Checking regularly keeps you honest and helps you spot when things start slipping.
