If you have a child who spends more time working on his social life rather then studying for exams, especially final exams then you may need to administer some tough love in the form of this ball and chain known as the Study Ball.
The Study Ball isn’t just a digital timer that tracks the amount of time you spend cracking books.
Instead, this is just like a real shackle that will stay attached to your leg until the time on the timer expires. This device weighs about 20 lbs so unless you’ll willing to drag it or carry it around in a wheelbarrow, it will affect your social life.
As to if it is going to improve grades, only time will tell. You probably won’t be going out with this, but who says you can’t carry this to the living room and become a couch potato until the timer expires.
You can buy this gadget for about $115.
