We recommend using your short study blocks to get small tasks done. These may include reviewing your notes, writing test questions, or quizzing yourself on your class material. Don't ignore your small study blocks; try to get something done. If you notice you're not using them, replace your small study blocks with "me time" so that Shovel doesn't think you have more study time than you actually do.
