ADHDers! What's your study secret?

I love listening to AL Kennedy Subtarranean Home

Playlist with songs that have good beats (love some 90s hip hop for this) on lowest vol (though my other ADHD friend does this with coral music and Lana del rey on top vol so each to their own)

Ooh! Ok study questions! Do you follow any Lawtubers? They've talked about bar study tips. Colors help. Try to use one color per subject or concept. That way you can help job your memory by thinking of that highlighter. Same thing with smell. You can use those sented lip glosses or kids scented markers. For me writing longhand keeps information in my brain. Even if I took notes by typing in class, handwriting them later helped. Look up Emily D Baker. She just did a quick run down of how to bar study. Her biggest advice was plan backward. Most people plan their day around studying. She says plan things you know you need first. If you know you need 9 hours of sleep to feel your best block that off first. Then block off meals. Block off a couple hours a week for exercise or walks to clear your mind. Then pick one hour that is just for you. You need something to keep you motivated. So maybe Friday night you get one movie or crafting or whatever. Then you can study in all the space around it knowing you will have the energy to retain what you read. It doesn't do any good if you are too tired or hungry to remember. Meal prepping is good too. Slow-cookers are great. You can set it and forget it. As long as it doesn't dry out you can literally "overcook" by hours. It just means your roast turns into stew. Lol. You can pre-portion and freeze meals so you aren't stressed about cooking as much

Isochronic tones help me a ton! Got me through college

I sometimes play simple mobile games with the sound off that doesn't require too much thought, it's visual and tactile. However it does distract too much sometimes, so I have to rewind what I'm listening too. As mentioned by yourself Nd others, finding a tactile hobby/craft will likely help and make you feel satisfied. Maybe pick up a few in classic ADHD style and switch between them so you don't get bored? Sculpting, knitting, wood carving, lino cutting for prints, model making/painting, sewing, weaving etc. There are some quite physical crafts out there, just depends on what you can do where you live. I have the opposite situation where I listen to a lot of audiobooks whilst doing my physical job so I stay focused.

Pop its or I don't think there's anything wrong with coloring. Note taking/doodling? Like I take notes to keep my focus and only occasionally relook at the.
