Know your time
Minutes matter. Shovel will find when you can study and for how long.
Set when you’re awake
You can’t study when you’re asleep. Set when you get up and go to bed every day.
Set when you’re busy
Use Shovel’s drag and drop calendar to schedule everything you want to do.
Know when you can study
Shovel finds when you can study and for how long, for every day of the semester.
Own your tasks
Knowing what you have to do is not enough. You have to know how long everything takes.
Know how much time you need for every task
Readings, tests, assignments… know your workload in terms of time required.
Know when to get started
Shovel tells you how soon you need to get started on a task to get it done on time.
