is there anyway that you could customize it so you could put in what kind of stuff you are learning or studying. ex. school, reading, homework, practicing a skill, etc.?

I am currently doing an Open University course and it is tricky to fit it in with work and home schooling my daughter. I find the best time to do it is first thing in the morning

When you tap on the add a habit, you can add "doing homework" or something as a new habit. Then out in how much time you'd like to spend doing that activity, and then at the very bottom of the screen, you'll see an area for describing what you're doing.
