The problem with internal deadlines
Most people work best with hard, external deadlines. A deadline requires you to focus because you have to deliver.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
