Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

i'm telling you all right now. get bright sticky notes and a pen and write each individual task (or sub-task) on its own note and stick them somewhere you'll see clearly (a wall, a mirror, your front door). and then start ripping those bad boys off one by one as you accomplish them. my favorite to do list system ever. super visual, i can easily edit/add as i go, and i never misplace the list.

Just study. Study until you can no longer physically do so. Breaks are only allowed if you feel half dead or you are already done. become obsessed with it. The act of learning, of studying, of rotting away through the pursuit of knowledge. It'll take you far, my love, it will take you there

[cheshire-castle-library]

Please let this be sarcasm, that is how you die actually

[pxasee]

Many students forget that they need to take care of themselves too. If you wanna study more then do but don't forget to give yourself the much required rest. You deserve it. You don't have to be half-dead while tryna pursue something you love.

It's no miracle, but this might help...

How many times have you looked up from your phone thinking, “I should be doing something,” and then… kept doomscrolling?

Yeah. Same.

I wanted my account to stay focused on Legends, but this felt important to share because it’s been a huge struggle for me for years.

My loop was this: Instant gratification → Guilt for not being productive → Feeling overwhelmed + fear of failing → More instant gratification. Rinse, repeat.

It got so bad that sometimes I’d just lie in bed crying because I knew I was avoiding life — and then immediately go numb myself again with social media or AI content because it felt better in the moment.

I thought this meant I was lazy. Or apathetic. But the truth is: people who are lazy don’t beat themselves up about wanting to be productive. I did care. Maybe too much.

It turns out it is a neurobiological stress-avoidance response. My brain was just trying to protect me. The problem was that even the tiniest task started to feel like too much effort.

My solution?

LET 👏 YOUR 👏 BRAIN 👏 VIBRATE 👏

I’m completely serious.

Instead of forcing yourself into a task immediately (which only makes the resistance worse), do this:

Stand up. Do absolutely nothing. Let your brain scream: “NOOOO I DON’T WANNA—”

Make it funny if you can. Visualize your brain vibrating like:

an agitated rubber band

a shaken soda can about to explode

a fish flopping on land

a toddler throwing a tantrum

If not, that's okay. Just don’t jump to self-loathing (also makes resistance worse). Don’t judge the feeling. Just let yourself be irritated or whiny or overwhelmed. That’s part of the transition — not a character flaw.

And then… Oh. It stopped.

Once your brain burns off that initial resistance, then you can start the task. Letting your brain vibrate doesn’t do the task for you, but it makes the shift into momentum so much smoother.

From there, use the classic advice: Just start. Break the task into tiny steps. Do it for 30 seconds. Most of the time, you’ll keep going because you’ve created new momentum.

And if you still can’t? That’s okay. You can stop and try again later. Or push through if it’s something with a deadline — sometimes life just demands things. :/

Adding something positive helps too: Music while cleaning. Ambient tracks while studying. Little rituals that make the task feel less like a punishment. (My sisters and I sing songs while folding the laundry. It's so much fun!)

There’s no magical fix that makes productivity effortless. But if you struggle to get out of your own rut, maybe this will help you the way it’s helped me.

Let your brain vibrate. Then choose the next step.

This is your much-needed reminder to take transitions seriously. As a neurodivergent person, you need much more time to switch between tasks and activities. It's not just important that you take your time, it's imperative for you to be able to keep going. Just like an athlete gets benched when they get injured, neurodivergent people get extra time to switch tasks, start something new, go out, or wrap up whatever you're doing. Take transitions seriously, or they'll seriously affect your health.

★ results of my studying for exams

i passed all my exams. i got 88/100 on math, 100/100 on language and 80/100 on physics. im not proud of my math result, i know i could've do better

i enrolled in the uni that i kinda... avoided while thinking about universities? i was scared that i won't have enough points for more popular uni so i enrolled there. and then after enrollment i found out my score was in fact greater by ONE than passing score into the more popular uni. made me sad for a little but i enrolled where i enrolled. and i guess my uni is not that bad :) but im scared a little because of the new... everything: classmates, teachers, environment... maybe adaptation process won't be easy but i'll try to make it at least fun

before the first semester i decided to improve my programming skills (i almost didnt have any skills). now im learning python and i really like it! i have some projects in mind that include html css and java so i hope i'll start learning them too

also im going to improve my english. so i'll post more often (i hope) (sorry for not posting)

ooh and also i have a new hyperfixation. so almost every day i learn python while listening to the same deltarune soundtracks. makes the process more fun

[imtoobiforthisshit]

i finally found a way to organize myself and give me dopamine!

Basically, im homeschooling, so i don't have teachers, i mostly just use online textbook, study guide and past lessons to study, which can feel pretty overwhelming. Especially when you don't have discipline, I basically never know when to study or even what.

Some days ago i was looking at a free MIT course (Literary interpretation: Virgina Woolf's Shakespeare) and the Syllabus of the course made me so weirdly happy

Each class, the plan of the class was written, and it helped me want to study and don't feel overwhelmed

So i started making my own syllabus (syllabi? ive no idea how to use this word fr) for every subject, i did one for history-geography, and for french.

Im now basically my own teacher and it makes me weirdly happy, ive homeworks, tests, ive class scheduled (from 30min to 4hours long), basically ive a plan, and im finally studying without feeling overwhelmed, because i dont have to be at my desk thinking "well what do i do now?"

I know its pretty specific and so wont be helful to anyone i suppose, but i just want you to know that you'll find a way, that goes for you eventually. and it may change, im not gonna lie to myself and think it's gonna work forever, ive adhd i know better, but as long as it last and work it's okay

02.05.25 – may challenge day 2!

total focus time: 2h 20min (+ ~1h 30min while i was doing math test at school; + ~1h while i was doing language tests without a phone)

today is the math & the language day!

solved another math test

solved 7 problems on derivatives

made flashcards on derivatives, planimetry & logarithms

& studied them

solved three language tests (the first with a result of 80/100, the second with 89/100 & the third with 98/100. made conclusions about my mistakes)

[chaoticstudyprincess]

01.04.25 – may challenge day 1!

total focus time: 6h 18min (wtf i didnt know i can do that)

i decided to start the may challenge! because i only have one month before exams (actually 3 weeks before the first exam but...) and i wanna study hard all the time that left! i made a plan for myself on this month.

today is the math day!

worked on another math mock exam

did the homework that tutor gave me (at least i tried)

made flashcards with trigonometry & stereometry formulas

& studied them

solved ~20 trigonometry problems

not math-related but i wrote down my morning and night routine and its. actually so helpful. i finally know what to do in the mornings instead of scrolling tiktok for hours /hj

[chaoticstudyprincess]

it's been a rough week haha. all i did was studying before mock exams. i already have results and i have 82/100 on the math mock exam and *drum roll* 100/100 ON THE LANGUAGE MOCK EXAM YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY im still waiting for physics mock exam's results but i know there wont be much points. but still im shocked at language results... like 100/100? omg? say congrats pls /nf

but im also a little sad about math results... i did such stupid mistakes i could've got more points... i hope i'll get more on the real math exam

[chaoticstudyprincess]

15-17.04.25

15.04 focus time: ? (didnt count); 16.04 focus time: 45 min; 17.04 focus time: 1h 58min (+~30 min in the flashcards app)

its only a month and a half until the exams... so i decided i need to keep a strict record of my preparing: i will solve a mock test each week and look at my mistakes, analyse them and work on them. i created a notion calendar where i marked all the things i should do. also i will study physics, language and math flashcards everyday. seems like im finally starting to work when it's almost deadline. neurodivergent moment

yesterday i did some physics homework

today i created some more math flashcards

also i solved like two mock language tests & got 90/100 on the first and 82/100 on the second

im also gonna write some more mock tests that are very close to the real exams in a few days so im studying hard for them now
