Awake Time Overview
Awake Time defines the parameters of where Shovel will find available study time. The Calendar will show light areas when you are awake and gray when are asleep.
You can still schedule anything you want within the gray areas (sleep time), but Shovel will only find and calculate study time within the white areas (awake time).
Adjust Awake Time
Access the Awake Time page from the “adjust” menu icon in the left sidebar. Select Adjust Awake Time.
On the awake time page, we treat awake time as an event. You can resize it, set repeat patterns, delete it, and create a new one.
At first, all your awake times are linked together, when you make a change to one, you can select whether you’d like to adjust a single date ar all of the same days going forward.
How to create new awake time
To create a new awake time, you can either drag the “Drag awake time” capsule from the left sidebar or you can click and drag your mouse on the calendar where there is no awake time.
After you drop it in or drag to to create a new study time, a dialog will appear where you can adjust your awake time precisely and set the repeat pattern.
How to repeat awake time
To set the repeat pattern of your awake time, click the “does not repeat” dropdown and select whether you want the awake time to repeat weekly or on selected days only.
When you select “repeat weekly” you can select on what days it will repeat. For example you can set the same awake time for Monday through Friday and then a different awake time for Saturdays and Sundays.
Other way to access the awake time page
The Awake Time page can also be accessed directly from the Calendar by hovering over any grayed-out sleep time and clicking on the Adjust Awake Time link.
Try to establish a consistent routine to have the most accurate study plan that you can.
