Use the timer with one purpose in view.
Active recall is easier to repeat when practice has a defined beginning and end. Set one topic, close the notes, answer questions or explain the material from memory, then use the timer checkpoint to verify what you missed. TaskNovae provides a simple structure for repeated recall rounds while keeping the current study objective visible.

Questions about active recall timer
How long should an active recall session be?
Short focused rounds can work well because recall quality matters more than clock time. Start with ten to twenty-five minutes and adjust for the size of the topic.
Should I check my notes during active recall?
Try to retrieve the answer first, then check your notes or source material after the attempt so the gaps become visible.
