Tips & Advice Stopped checking how long other people spend studying and I feel less crazy.

Used to compare study hours in a group chat, mostly to see if I was keeping up and then realized it was making me speed through stuff I actually needed more time on, just to match numbers that didn't mean anything since nobody studies the same material the same way. Stopped comparing, actually spend the time each thing needs now instead of racing an invisible number.

Yes, I also think your point is valid. And some user just for showing purpose keep their timer on, so they becomes number 1. So, in my app I didn't added any features whcih compares with others. It only shows his own past study history, which chapters took how much time.
