My Study Methods With ADHD!

My study methods with ADHD!

Warning: Long post under the cut.

Hii, I just wanted to share some things I do to make studying less boring having ADHD :)

Coloring task list

In a picture frame, I put some drawings of potion bottles underneath the glass, and as I go doing my tasks, I color the potion bottle with a white board marker, as if I was filling the bottle, until it gets full, this method motivates me to keep going, to see the drawing fully colored, besides, it's a good way to visualize your progress.

Cloze

My to go study method is cloze, basically I blur out the keywords of my text (I part it in questions or topics, but you can do as you please), then, I open the notes app and try to ''fill the blanks'' and complete the words that are missing, that not only is a good way to memorize, but also is a good way of answering questions without draining all your energy while doing so.

Breaks

I hate pomodoro, i usually just take a bunch of tasks, and part them in groups, by doing that, when I complete a bunch of quests, I can take a break with an appropriate time for the tasks I just did.

Water and posture reminders

I like to have reminders to fix my posture and drink some water, but notifications are just not annoying enough, so I make an alarm, an actual alarm that will show up in the middle of the screen and interrupt me so I can actually drink water before turning it off

Well those are the tips I got, I hope it helps you as much as they help me! :D

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

If you tag your pro-Palestine posts as #important, it's not helping the content reach more people

#free palestine does not take any effort

You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.
