Tips for studying with ADD

I have been dealing with ADD since forever. Through all those years in school I’ve learnt a few things that help me study and keep my grades good.

🌼 Have 2 things to focus on

This might sound a bit odd but you have to distract yourself a little bit. Sitting down to a book, in a complete silence won’t help at all. You’ll find something else no matter how empty the room may be. Give yourself two things to focus on instead. The first thing is studying and the second should be something that doesn’t cost you too much thinking. Here are a few ideas for your second focus:

Have something simple in your hand to roll it around (e.g. a stone)

Music with no lyrics

A piece of paper to fold

A pencil or pen to play with

A ball to throw around

A calm pet (the calm part is important, no cat chasing!)

🌼 Try to study alone

Other poeple will not only distract you but you will aslso distract them too.

🌼 Turn off your phone

🌼 Switch between the subjects often

Study one thing for some time, then other thing and then come back to the first thing. Change things up as often as your memory can take it to keep your brain intrigued.

🌼 Change study spaces

🌼 Give yourself time to stare into space blankly

🌼 Ask someone to snap you back

Ask someone to check on you and snap you back to reality in case you lose attention

🌼 Learn in as many forms as you can

Try things out (if it’s safe to do so), hear them, look at pictures.

🌼 Give yourself enough time

Don’t wait until the last minute. Give yourself as much time as you can.

I hope I helped and have a nice day!

other people succeeding and achieving things (school, jobs, relationships, etc.) before you do, does not make you a failure. it doesn’t make you bad at these things. it just means some things are going to take a little more time for you than it will for other people. you have time. there are no rules or deadlines by which you have to achieve and experience things. there’s too much pressure to have all these things done by your early to mid twenties but you have your whole life to figure yourself out and do what you want. you are doing your best and that’s what matters. i’m proud of you and you are going to be okay.

The relief 😂
