[image description: a series of nine images giving study tips for those with adhd. the first image has large text and a light orange background with a glittery design. the following images are split. on the left side, which has a light orange background, there is a number and a sentence giving a tip in large letters. on the right side, which has a dark orange background, there are more details is smaller letters. all text in the series is white and is in all caps. the following will describe the text on each image of the series.
first image: how to actually study with adhd (no, seriously).
second image: 1. taking your f-ing meds. if you are one of those people (me) who has guilt about needing medication to function: don’t. surprisingly, a mental disorder gets worse when you don’t treat it.
third image: 2. ‘pretty’ means nothing if it isn’t done. is spending hours rewriting your notes or making flash cards actually helping you learn? aesthetic does not mean effective. stick to what works, not what looks good.
fourth image: 3. use your breaks wisely. a ‘five minute’ break can turn into five hours. try to do activities that give your brain a break but aren’t distracting. good break ideas: eat something, 10 minute stretch, go for a walk. bad break ideas: playing a video game, watching tv/tiktok, call your best friend.
fifth image: 4. don’t forget to prioritize. only look at what actually needs to get done, right now. today is not the day to finish every single task you’ve been procrastinating for months.
sixth image: 5. try to be around other people. cafes and libraries were my best friend for a reason (sigh…). just someone to be in the room (or on facetime!) and quietly do their own thing, so you remember to do yours. note: if you choose a friend, this might be too distracting.
seventh image: 6. be honest about your limits. you are not lazy. you have adhd, so stop punishing yourself. dropping a class or asking for extensions aren’t failures; they are mature and necessary steps to being a better student.
eighth image: 7. make fun of your work. being interested makes things so much easier! that’s why taking classes you like is so helpful! if you can’t do that, literally make fun of it. joke around with your friends or in the margins of your notes. it’s a good way to stay focused, plus you actually have to understand the material pretty well to make jokes about it.
ninth image: 8. now go and get started. c’mon. looking at this graphic is not studying. set a timer for 10 minutes, turn off your phone, and go do some work …after you reblog this post :P
