At the designated time, join the study group video call! Please keep your mic muted and video is optional. You will see a timer on the screen - study with us and take breaks together! Put any questions you have in the chat and I will do my best to answer them.

My idea for these study groups comes from the concept of body doubling, where you benefit from the presence of someone else to help you achieve your goals, especially for tasks which you may not want to do. Body doubling has been shown to help with increasing: motivation, focus, accountability, time management, mood, and productivity, and reducing procrastination.

While the benefits are still being studied, it is popular especially for ADHD management.

Click here to buy lifetime access! You will then receive a password for the calendar page where you can see when the sessions are available. I will also email you weekly with times until you notify me that you no longer need to join!

Lifetime access to study groups currently costs $20 USD. Buy your spot here.

In my opinion, there are too many subscriptions available nowadays, and it can be a pain to cancel. I don’t believe in forcing you into another subscription, especially if you may need to change your test date or retake the GRE. Lifetime access makes most sense!

I will do my best to conduct study groups at a variety of times to accommodate as many people as possible across many time zones. The reality of this is that I cannot accommodate all time zones, especially if I am especially busy on certain weeks. If you find that nothing is working for you, please email me with a request and I will try to work something out! Remember as well that you have lifetime access to these study groups.

No! Since you have lifetime access to sessions, you just need to join the link when the time comes.

Not to worry! You are able to join any time - come late or leave early depending on your need. Just keep in mind I will be offering a timer to help pace you - it is suggested that you follow the timer but you do not need to.

Yes, you can join via any device. You might find that it is easier to have the study group on your phone so you can work uninterrupted on your computer - whatever works best!

No! In fact, please keep your mic muted to respect the other participants. Video can help keep you accountable but sharing it is always optional.

You are free to play your own music alongside the study group! Just be sure to mute your mic to respect those who would rather have quiet or other background noise.

The Pomodoro technique has been shown to improve productivity and maintain focus. I suggest that you follow the 25-5 minute pattern with the group but you can work independently as well.
