Then, the task name is written in the task center, the set time is set to 1 hour, and the time is counted. The progress bar is placed in a conspicuous position, and the progress is estimated to be faster or slower than the time progress by looking at the progress at a glance at work. The user is therefore focused on the task at hand. If the task is completed before the progress is over, the task is successful. Otherwise, the task fails, and the estimated time is increased to the next time step (e.g., 1.5 hours) when the same task is executed next time. Or to reduce the amount of tasks. Through repeated correction, the time estimation capability of the user and the control power of the task are improved, so that the achievement feeling and the self-confidence can be improved, and the protracted symptoms can be overcome.

2. The examination time is reasonably distributed.

Instructions for use: the examination needs to be completed within a prescribed time while striving for as high a score as possible. In addition to the tiger and the fact that no such factors contribute to the loss, there is a very common case of loss, i.e., the allocation of time is not reasonable. There is not enough time to complete the test paper, or enough time is allocated to the subject that can acquire the high score, or the score is lost because there is a fear that the time is short. By using the product, a reasonable time distribution strategy can be exercised in a simulated test, so that a high score can be won without worry in an actual test.

The using method comprises the following steps: 1) the calendar year truth is used to estimate the time of use of each large term. Assuming that a certain english examination takes 1.5 hours, there are five items, wherein the five items are divided into 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 minutes and 30 minutes according to the experience of the user. Then the corresponding time or percentage is found on the corresponding functionalized decal, such as 20 minutes (22%), 50 minutes (56%), 60 minutes (67%), 1 hour 10 minutes (78%), 1h30 minutes (100%). In simulating an examination, each time a large item is completed, the percentage of the progress bar at that time is written on the test paper. After the whole examination is completed (or the examination time is up), the time used by each large item is counted, so that the further optimization is realized, and the time used by each item is redistributed, so that the examination can be completed in sufficient time.

Description of the drawings: regarding the personalized function sticker, for examinations with different durations, different stickers can be directly pasted on the front surface (progress center) of the time reminder, and the sticker scales are matched with the progress bar scales, so that the time can be estimated more visually.
