Forced study
dbooster | Feb 19 2006
Hi guys! I'm currently studying Japanese and I'm looking for a good way to force myself to study more. Like most of you, I use the computer way too much, so I'm starting here. Do any of you know of a program that will lock my computer at certain times (like when it wakes up, when it comes back from screen saver, even periodically - like every 10 minutes) and force me to anwser a number of questions to be unlocked? I am thinking these questions could range from kanji flashcards to questions in Japanese with the expecation of either an anwser or translation. Obviously, I would have to be able to configure the questions and accepted answers. Anyways, can anyone think of a program like this or similar to this? Thanks!! 4 Comments

That might be surprisingly effective, although I'd probably wind up cursing at it a lot for ruining my games of N--especially if it locked without warning. » POSTED IN:
