I built Study Sprint for the Config Makeathon to help students with one of the hardest parts of studying: starting.
When a student feels overwhelmed, even a simple quiz, essay, or homework task can feel too big to begin. Most productivity tools assume the user already has clarity and motivation. Study Sprint is designed for the moment before that.
The app turns academic stress into one calm, realistic 15-minute sprint.
A student enters what is stressing them out, chooses how overwhelmed they feel, and Study Sprint breaks the task into smaller steps. It creates a focused plan, starts a timer, and guides the student through one step at a time.
The experience includes an overwhelm meter, a panic-to-plan breakdown flow, personalized sprint plans, fallback states for unclear inputs, a built-in timer, optional soft focus music, and a Tiny Win completion card.
The goal is not to help students do everything.
The goal is to help them begin.
I built the prototype with Figma Make and refined it into a mobile-first web app with a focus on clarity, emotional support, edge cases, and small moments of progress.
Study Sprint is not a full productivity system.
It is a starting tool for the moment when a student feels stuck.
One stressful task.
One focused sprint.
One small win.
Iād love feedback from students, designers, and builders:
When you feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, what helps you start?
A clear plan, a timer, encouragement, music, or something else?
I built Study Sprint around the idea that sometimes one small next step is more useful than a full productivity system.

I gave ChatGPT the worst cafƩ branding brief imaginable.
Just a bunch of rough sketches and a very loose idea.
Then I asked it to turn the whole thing into a real-life cafƩ brand.
And somehow, in under 30 seconds, it managed to keep the little details I liked while turning them into something that actually felt cohesive.
Now Iām wondering how far you can push a terrible brief before it stops being terrible.
The jump from loose sketches to a cohesive cafĆ© world is so satisfyingāthose little cup and bag marks carry through beautifully. I especially like how the roughness survived the polish instead of getting flattened.
I design some of the cleanest landing pages.
This is for an healthtech company.
Great Job, Daniel

The mood-capture direction feels more distinctive to meāthe layered cards give the memory context real personality. Iād keep the summary drawer as a quick-glance fallback for returning users.
