adhd study tips.
by a stem student with adhd.
disclaimer!!! I’m by no means an expert in mental health or adhd but I do happen to have it. My intention with this post is to help others with adhd get more comfortable with studying so the process will be smoother for them!! At the end of the day, despite having the same disorder our brains will still work differently so do keep in mind that these may or may not help you, but are something you can try out if you’re stuck on not being able to study efficiently.
here’s some adhd study affirmations + tips on straying from discouragement if you’re experiencing burnout.
(And here’s part 2 of adhd study tips.)
I’ll start this off by listing more commonly known study tips that also work well with adhd.
change up your environment every now and then. we seek novelty even more than neurotypical people already do so switching it up will definitely help in our studies, especially if the place is well lit!
try some questions of the topic you’re trying to learn even when you know nothing about it. both neurotypical and neurodivergent brains are hardwired to remember things when we are proven wrong, and this is a great way of utilizing this neurological response!
take walks, exercise or stretch during your breaks. this tip is very effective at satiating our hyperactivity and also keeps us energized throughout our study session.
keep a notebook for your brain dump / ideas. we always either think of really stupid things or the most brilliant ideas in the middle of our study sessions and it almost always leads to distraction, but writing it down somewhere lets your brain know that the idea isn’t going anywhere and you can continue studying.
now, onto the tips that have personally helped with my adhd (and I haven’t seen many others talk about.)
alternate between various study plans, routines, schedules and techniques and always be open to finding more of them. majority of the time people always say ‘have a routine that works for you and stick with it’ but our adhd brains get bored very quickly, especially when it comes to repeated routines and schedules. I personally never stick to the same routine or plan more than three days in a row and sometimes I even make a plan on the spot and I’ve been more productive doing that than when I had only one or two study routines to switch between.
do not time yourself at the very beginning. Instead, focus on something in your studies you’re interested in and start there. what do I mean by this? well, since starting is always the hardest, when we begin our very first pomodoro we might find ourselves spending the first 25 minutes zoning out on a textbook just to get that ‘study time’ in even though you didn’t actually learn or recall anything. So to combat this, begin with something you’re genuinely curious about, or ask a question you can’t help but wonder the answer to. Once you find the answer, you might find you’re more in the zone and can continue from there. If not, take a short break and begin the pomodoros afterwards.
if you’re zoning out while reading up on a topic, try walking around while reading, looking at different sources on it or do some questions on that topic. again, novelty always gets us every time. sometimes the problem may be that the explanation in front of you isn’t making sense in your head and other sources may phrase things in a way that is better for your understanding. perhaps the problem is that you’re staying too still and you need to satisfy the hyperactive part of your adhd. or maybe your brain subconsciously believes that they already know what needs to be known about this topic, and there’s no better way to test that by trying out some questions on it.
switch between lyrical and non-lyrical music playlists, but make sure the lyrical music inspires you to excel. this definitely won’t apply to a lot of people but I found that when I constantly listened to piano, lo-fi or just non-lyrical music while studying in general, it actually promoted my likelihood of zoning out. but recently I found a playlist I deeply resonated with that was related to my studies called, ‘pov : a try-hard mid student who wants to ace everything’ and because I related very deeply with both the title and the lyrics of the songs, I was actively being encouraged to study as I was studying. but I also recognize when I really need to think in certain areas and that’s when I switch back to the non-lyrical music.
this is all I have as of right now but please do lmk if you guys want more of these!! I really wanna help out as much people as possible because my studies suffered greatly due to both my adhd and my late diagnosis of it and I’d love to help out others going through something similar.

Catching up on classes on a rainy day 🌧️
🍁27/10/2023🎃
´Méthodologie de la recherche quantitative’ 😮‍💨
As the raindrops gently tap against my window on this lovely Friday, I find myself motivated in the cozy atmosphere of my study space. Today's primary focus is on preparing for a group study case, a unique experience (and difficult) in the realm of distance learning. The subjects of the day: statistics and quantitative analysis.
7 hours, punctuated by brief 15-minute breaks.
Send help lol

BIGGER QUESTION: are you okay today?
Everyday, since that day has been a challenge but the one thing that has been keeping me intact is releasing how I am feeling. How I am feeling for that day. Are you sad? Are you angry? What type of emotions are you having today?
To believe it or not it has kept me from my sanity where I want to just drink away my anger towards myself when I shouldn’t be blaming myself at all.
All I know, this journaling is saving me from myself right now.
I know it will be a rollercoaster and it will continue to do so until time can fully heal me and hopefully we can try again for another angel who comes its way to stay with us for the long run 🤍
Keep up with the journey,
Zee 💜

Today I had my first hospital practice on the subject of Epidemiology, but unfortunately I didn't remember to take any pictures. The activity that my group was in charge of was very good and very simple, basically it was to do an interview with random people at the basic health center and ask what they knew about the disease.
The teacher released us early because of an appointment, and then I went to have lunch with my friends, it was delicious but I have to remember not to spend so much next time.
When I came home I decided to take a different bus and got off about four blocks before my house, the afternoon was beautiful and refreshing so it was nice to walk home. I had taken such beautiful pictures of the sunset, but it was blurry for some reason.
I put one more photo that are of my disciplines of the semester.

Hoje tive minha primeira prática hospitalar da matéria de Epidemiologia, mas infelizmente não lembrei de tirar nenhuma foto. Foi muito bom e bem simples a atividade que meu grupo estava encarregado, basicamente era fazer uma entrevista com pessoas aleatórias no posto de saúde básica e perguntar o que ela sabia sobre a doença Hanseníase.
A professora nos liberou mais cedo por causa de um compromisso, e depois eu fui lanchar com as minhas amigas, tava uma delícia mas eu tenho que me lembrar de não gastar tanto na próxima vez.
Quando eu vim para a casa, decidi pegar um ônibus diferente e saltei uns quatro quarteirões antes da minha casa, a tarde estava linda e refrescante por isso foi bom andar até chegar em casa. Tinha tirado fotos tão bonitas do por do sol, mas ficou embaçada por algum motivo.
Coloquei mais uma foto que são das minhas disciplinas do semestre.
