This isn't arbitrary—cognitive research suggests that after 45 minutes of intense concentration, the brain's ability to absorb new information begins to decline. A 45-minute online countdown helps you respect this natural limit, allowing you to push for high-intensity learning before taking a much-needed cognitive reset.
