Turn this week's sessions into next week's plan
Record one result alongside each block: a question score, a recalled explanation or a finished draft. At the end of the week, choose the next task from those results. Logging more hours is only useful if it helps you decide what to practise.
Open the free printable study review worksheet. It includes a filled example, seven editable session rows and a weekly review. Print or save it as a PDF; the worksheet does not upload or save your entries.
Need a method for the next block? Use an active recall schedule, then allocate time with the study schedule maker. For phone use, check mobile app availability.
How to track your study time
Record the subject, focused minutes and date after each session. Use This week to check your Monday–Sunday totals, Today for your current workload, and All entries for the full browser log. Breaks, idle time and the length of an open tab should not count as focused study.
A worked example: review three study hours before planning the next week
Before finals or a revision week, compare time spent with what you could do afterward. This sample student logged three hours across three subjects and kept practice results separately. The results are an example, not a prediction of exam grades or a feature that marks your work.
| Subject and time | Practice result noted separately | Next study task |
|---|---|---|
| Biology · 90 min | Explained 8 of 10 terms without notes. | Recall the two missed terms, then check again. |
| Chemistry · 60 min | Completed the practice set; two answers needed hints. | Retry those questions without hints. |
| Physics · 30 min | Solved 2 of 5 questions independently. | Plan one focused block on the missed question types. |
The next step is a specific Physics practice block, not simply a bigger weekly hour target. Put that task in the study schedule maker, then revisit the result after studying. Your subject totals show where the time went; your practice notes help decide where the next block belongs.

Study tracker questions
Do I need a spreadsheet or an account?
No. The local study log works here without an account. A connected account is a separate option for recording timer sessions across your signed-in devices.
Will my entries stay here?
They stay in this browser when local storage is available. Private browsing, clearing site data or switching devices can remove or hide them. Keep a separate record if you need a durable archive.
What should I track besides hours?
Keep a short note elsewhere about the task and what you could recall afterward. A completed practice set is more useful context than an unexplained time total.
Take your study timer to iPhone and iPad
StudiesTimer is now available on the App Store. Use Pomodoro, countdown or stopwatch sessions on your phone, then sign in with the same account to keep saved study time, streaks and groups together with the website.
Home Screen widgets show today's study total, and a Live Activity keeps the running timer on your Lock Screen. The app requires iOS 17 or later. Android is coming soon; the web timer works in your browser today.
