The Study Reset – A 30-Day Workbook
The Study Reset – A 30-Day Workbook
Most study struggles are not a motivation problem — they are a structural one. No single place where deadlines live, no plan for when work happens, no way to focus once you sit down.
The Study Reset is a 32-page printable workbook that builds a complete study system over 30 days, in 15–20 minutes a day.

Built on published research
Every method is drawn from peer-reviewed work, cited on the page where it is used.
- Leroy (2009) — attention residue: switching tasks before completion impairs performance on the next task
- Dai, Milkman and Riis (2014) — the fresh start effect: temporal landmarks increase motivation to pursue goals
- Roediger and Karpicke (2006) — the testing effect: self-testing produces significantly better long-term retention than rereading
- Lally et al. (2010) — habit formation takes an average of 66 days, not 21 — the guide is honest about this from page one

What this is built on
The research is free. Turning it into a system you actually run is the part nobody gives you.
Switching tasks leaves part of your attention stuck on the last one.

A clean start date — a new month, term or week — measurably raises the odds a new habit sticks.

Testing yourself on material beats re-reading it, and the gap widens the longer you wait.

Habits took a median of 66 days to feel automatic, not the 21 days usually claimed.
