Depression/Adhd study tips coming from someone who has depression, anxiety, and ADHD. All of these I try to do

Make the process as bearable as possible. Put on those fuzzy socks you like, comfy clothes, pour yourself your favorite drink, and have a treat while studying

Pavlov yourself into it

I've found that when I do these, it both helps sit down and get started, and it makes my brain associate it with positive things.

If you have the option, have a specific place you do schoolwork.

I happen to have like 3 desks in my dorm, even though I live in a single 🙃 So I have a desk where I have fun stuff, like my TV and gaming console, and a work desk which has my printer, laptop, and Kettle.

Minimize your distractions. Given that I'm currently writing this in procrastination, I'm lowkey failing that, but that's okay. You're going to get distracted sometimes. What matters is getting something done.

What did help minimize distractions is that I drink tea while I work. So I moved my kettle to my desk so I wouldn't have to get up and walk across my room every half hour

Find lighting that works for you. Some people might like soft lighting,

for me if I'm studying at night I need all the lights on to minimc daylight as much as possible.

Notice what you happen to be wearing or doing when your being productive. Like after you get your work done. We're you sitting in a specific position? what was the environment like? what were you wearing, was your hair up or down? were you wearing shoes?

Oddly, for me, I'm most productive if I'm wearing a bra with an underwire. If I need to clean, putting on shoes seems to cue my brain into its work time. Music usually helps me stay focused

If you take medication, make sure you take your medication.

Look, just make sure your basic needs, like sleep, food, and water, are all met first. Trust me, it is impossible to focus otherwise. Same with anything clamoring at your brain.

Regulate yourself first, like lay under a weighted blanket, meditate, or go on a walk. Those are all examples I do that help.

If you're nervous about an exam you're studying for and your stomach is in knots, you're never gonna retain the info. So take care of yourself first.

Block off more time than you think you need. Should this only take an hour? block off 2.5 hours. Especially if you have adhd and you aren't hyperfocused, you're gonna get distracted. Sometimes, you might not finish. that's okay. The goal is to have something. A word, a sentence, a page. Even if it's not a lot, something is better than nothing.

if you're really struggling with an assignment, half ass it. something is better than nothing, and yeah, you might fail it, but at least I'll be a 20% rather than a 0%.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly

Day 2/150 days of productivity

I annotated this amazing book. I totally recommend it. The tabs are moments where imagery was super vivid. I’m going to design an art study around these tabs, and I’ll keep my process posted.

I never understood why parents punish/ground their kids for having bad grades. obviously, your child is struggling academically and needs help...so... Your choice is to punish them..? Maybe if you took time out of your oh so busy life, and tried to help your child study, make it fun even! they'd be doing better in school. They might even be struggling mentally, punishing them just makes it worse and makes them less modivated. Your child needs human understanding, they're not a robot. This can lead to your child being scared to ask for help, or pushing themselves to be perfect, stressing over a less than perfect grade. Stop saying your child is a failure, you're just a bad parent.

omg i swear ill shut up soon

tim being super smart definitelyyyy felt modivated by jason hate (and therfore classism...) to me btw. jason was not very smart at all (he uses words incorrectly, cant solve riddlers puzzles, and has trouble articulating what he says) this is because he quit going to school in the fifth grade to take care of his sick/dying mother. but! hes almost always shown studying and working on schoolwork once he was adopted by bruce and didnt have to worry about money anymore.

tim, on the other hand, solves batman and the teen titans' secret identities at 13 years old. hes the smartest detective in the dc universe and considered to be as smart as batman or smarter. he grew up well off with a stable life and a really good education.

its just so blatant. lol. lmao. 😐

#jasons was way more relateable to me and every other kid reading comics too #like dc really said 'sucks 4 u' to the target audience #no kid can relate to being a rich genius. pretty much every kid can relate to struggling in school #but whatever... #dc posting

Stranger things characters helping an s/o who’s failing their math class

Ok so @aceofhimbos requested that I do Eddie, Steve and Johnathan with an s/o who is failing math. At the time I was on really shitty wifi and I thought I saved it but of course it didn’t save. I am horrible at anything but basic math so I totally get this. I barely passed my last math class. So I hope y’all enjoy this. I imply that the reader is a senior in high school in Eddies and Johnathan’s bits because that’s around the age of them.

Includes: Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington, Johnathan Byers

Warnings: None I can think of

Eddie Munson

Eddie isn’t great at his classes either. He’s gonna suggest study dates and use “rewards” to help modivate you to try as best as you can. The reward are gonna be kisses and that’ll probably lead to you two making out. 

He has access to a lot of smart kids at school so he might employ them to help you. 

I feel like he might try to get you to cheat in class too. “It’s senior year calculus, you’re not gonna use it ever again. Come on Y/N it’s not that big of a deal.” 

If you a C or higher on a test he’s gonna be so excited for you. Get ready to have a little party with him. And if you pass the class he’s going all out for you. He’ll spoil you a bit with your favorite snacks, drinks, watching your favorite movies and lots of cuddles and kisses. Get ready for a long make out sesh or a long night of cuddling with eachother. 

Steve Harrington 

Steve did pass all of his classes but he’s no genius. He’ll help tutor you to the best of his ability. He will constantly reassure you that you’re not dumb or stupid and that math is hard. 

He’ll make flashcards and go over to your house to help you practice. Will give you so much praise every time you get it right and if you get all of them right he will give you a sweet kiss and take you out to get ice cream or whatever else you want. 

Will totally give you so much time to do whatever you need to get things done. He will stay up until 2 in the morning to help you finish your homework 

He’s gonna come up with fun ways to get you to remember things and will share tips of stuff he did before tests that always helped him and gave him good luck. “So every night before I aced a test I wore socks to bed and fell asleep listening to music.” 

Johnathan Byers

He is pretty smart when it comes to math and stuff like that. Smarter than Steve and Eddie that is. He’s gonna come over every day that he can and help you study and do your homework. 

If you get really stressed and start to cry he’s going to pull you away from the work and help calm you down. If it’s something due tomorrow he’ll do it for you and walk through all the steps of how he got there, making sure to get a few wrong so that the teacher doesn’t know someone else did it. 

Like Eddie he might get someone else to help tutor you. That person being Will. He might be a freshman in high school but he is really good at math, kinda needs to be to play dnd. 

Will constantly give you so much praise for working so hard and trying your best to do what you can. If you get good grades on anything or even pass the class he’s going to be so happy for you, get ready for a fun date night. You get to pick what you two are doing.

Using My Time Wisely [Social Distancing] #3

Falling motivation, stress, how I’m trying to finish my school semester.

With all my good intentions and ambitions to use my time wisely I had found myself in a slum of depression and lack of motivation when it came to my studies. I have two weeks left in my semester and since everything had gone online, I have been forces to attempt to be productive at home. With my ADD I cannot efficiently work on schoolwork from home. My home contains a lot of distractions like games and food. As with this lack of motivation I was not feeling good.

I tried to manage my ADD without medication. Instead I relied on constant exercise and a steady routine. I have tried to keep up my exercising at home with home workout and morning runs but it’s not easy to get these things done when my mind is constantly stressing about the lack of work, I’ve accomplished towards my school semester.

So basically, I can’t workout because I haven’t gotten my homework done but I can’t get my homework done because I haven’t workout.

So overall not a fun situation.  

Since then I have been pulling myself out of the slum piece by piece. The cards that I have made from [my last post] are more useful when I don’t have homework to do. They are still being used but not as frequently at the moment. I plan to return to that system once my semester is complete. 

Therefore, I would like to share what I have been doing to help keep myself motivated and productive with what I have.

1.       Reaching out

Probably one of the hardest tasks to do, especially for those with social anxiety but trust me that in our current situation talking to someone you trust, or anyone is very helpful, and you might not be the only one who needs to talk to someone. Staying connected with each other will be out greatest defence in staying sane.

 I am very lucky to have a personal trainer who is willing to stay on the phone with my to help sort out my mental state. Talking to him might not have solved the problem but getting my thoughts out there and having them get repeated back to me helped make my current situation seem more manageable, and that’s a good start. 

2.       Keeping your environment clean

This might seem like procrastinating but in this situation keeping your work environment clean is a good thing. Try not to go into a state of heavy organization because that would be considered procrastinating. Keeping your area in order will help keep your mental state in order as well. Since we can’t escape it, we might as well make it enjoyable.

 3.       Fresh air in the morning

You do not need to out outside completely, opening a window when you wake up or standing outside your front door with tea or coffee will not only give you some energy, but it will make you feel more awake and alert.

 I have been trying to wake up and run every second day just to get it out of the way, give myself some fresh air and to give myself a sense of accomplishment throughout the day. not exercising enough causes me to panic and stress so making sure I do this in the morning has been crucial towards my steps to productivity. 

Other tasks that I don’t think I need to explain:

4.       Get dress and ready for the day

5.       Eat well

6.       Drink lots of water

Some say that you should accomplish the hardest task first thing in the morning and that is correct. Depending on what that task may be to you I highly suggest making it a habit to get it done first. That sense of accomplishment will remain a high point and you can carry that with you throughout your day.

 Now I haven’t been able to follow all these tasks to the letter lately, but it is still early. I am not out of this gloom yet, but I am doing my best. Don’t let depression or anxiety stick around too long, it is okay to have it sometimes but letting it fester is less then ideal. Everything will be okay. We will get though this. This is only temporary.

Stay safe 😊

House of Locks/House of Eyes

season one, episode 2/3 rewatch

here we start with nina hiding from victor, where she first accidentally falls into the panel

bro the panel is so cool I think the reason little attached to this show so much is bc it’s my dream to go to some super old house and find a bunch of secret pathways and mysteries

aww amber and fabian go to find her, I love the relationship between this trio :,)

fucking love patricia her only reaction to being afraid of being caught with the key is to just yeet it out the window iconic

I have officially decided that during the quarantine I’m gonna learn how to pick locks. both nina and eddie know how to just casually so if I’m ever going to find myself in a british academia situation, it seems thats the classic american skill I need to know

girl don’t just stand in the hallway looking at your locker this is why you almost always get caught

awww jerome and alfie clapping when she comes down, I miss early s1 alfie and jerome duo before jerome got all manipulative and never apologized

ofc she remembered to being smth back loll

bro how does she have good grades? I’m not 100% bc obviously I’ve never been to an english school but like I’m pretty sure their coursework is more intensive, plus like their history classes would be entirely different so like she has so much curriculum to catch up on but she spends all of her time skipping class and in an attic

also is there like lesser punishment to skipping class??? bc they do always be gone and rarely get detention

jerome thinking he’s the lady’s man lmaoooo

“you gotta let me know when you’re gonna change nicknames, I mean, last week you were Captain Spaghetti”” wonderful, love you alfie

I really appreciate how modivated patrica is to find her friend. like when you’re 15/16 kids switch schools all the time esp when you’re not at a public school (this time I do speak from experience) and it sucks but they just become ‘remember that girl we were friends with’ in a couple of weeks bc that’s just the age you are. she’s loyal and dedicated and I like her for it

however breaking into her locker in the most obvious way possible without looking around for teachers was not her smartest move

okay so like most boarding schools (that I’ve looked into anyways) you don’t stay during the weekend unless you have like special permission (events, study for exams,etc) even international students have a a kinda of guardian that has to live in the region of the school for weekends and emergencies) so I wonder who nina’s english guardian is?

fabian isn’t a pushover in this part of the story (“...then I’m coming with you, and that’s all there is to it.”) so the s2 teaching fabian to be more assertive doesn’t really make sense

1) patricia really makes use of that ruler huh 2) I wonder who the first dumbass student was to realize that the girls’ toilets had a little peak away hole into their headmasters office

and also fabian knows about this so it’s well talked about? but not within the whole school bc he couldn’t explain himself to the girl that walked in on him

so maybe it’s just a anubis house, passed down secret?

lmao poor mara in the early episodes, I love her and she’s just wants to help patricia and she hedgehogs, amazing

i’m not saying the only reason to meet in a laundry room at midnight at a boarding school is 17+ but like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

“i’m a catch!”

i’m still confused why nina had to steal/keep the key at all if she can pick locks

“do you need the torch” “i don’t think setting fire to the place will help us right now” good job nina

poor alfie, instant rejection

awww baby fabina flirting “i won’t tell anyone a painting of a little girl made you scream”

poor amber, she really thinks she got stood up that sucks

alfie has lingerie catalog girls in his locker but he doesn’t really seem like the type? that’s more smth jerome would paste up, alfie would have like aliens and stuff

“i’m not so good at that talking to people thing”

oh it’s painful to watch, mara you have improved so much

also in patricia’s not smartest move: okay so you could take a picture of the number in the office (whatever) but then you could program it in your phone after you looked at it and then just leave the file at the school so it’s not on you??? I’m just saying work smarter not harder

and that’s the episode!!! all in all nice vibes, I really like the feel of early season one with all the nostalgia, the attempts to include pop culture (mostly through twilight mentions) and just the building up of the mystery

Week 14 continue: Visual Case Study Assessment

Overall it was a fun assignment however it introduced me to a lot of new things that I haven’t attempted before. Due to the Corona virus classes were online over zoom instead of face to face at the uni. I found this difficult to modivate myself to complete set tasks to the set date, therefore the final product could’ve been achieved to a better level if I was more modivated. Next time I will have to complete tasks as they come and not do everything close to when it’s due.

motivation

motivation is something that I really struggle with so I typed up a few of my own tips. hope this helps!

1. plan a specific time to study

often, I get stuck in the trap of saying that I am going to study at 10 AM until however long it takes me to finish studying. this, of course, gives me absolutely no motivation to actually get my work done since there is no end to said studying in sight. it works so much better to set a few hours aside and stick to them. plan to study from 10 AM to 12 PM - and then go do something you love.  

2.  form a study group or get a study buddy

a study group/buddy is a great way to keep you accountable for your work! plan a time with a friend that you can get together and study for a joint class and help each other through the challenges. try to do things that keep both people focused like going over flashcards.  

3. change your environment

maybe your space isn’t letting you focus. try going to a coffee shop, a library, or just leave your current location with a few books and set up anywhere else. often a change of scenery will bring your brain back to attention. 

4. use colorful pens or paper 

you do not, I repeat, do NOT have to start a bullet journal or anything fancy (although, if you do want to start a bullet journal, more power to you!). grab some felt tip pens and some highlighters or even a box of crayons and start working! who says you can’t do your english assignment in sparkly purple pen? you can also invest in a whiteboard and a few dry-erase markers--I find that they work well for working through math problems or memorizing molecular structures. 

Please feel free to leave me an ask if you have a question! I would be more than happy to give some tips! Follow me for more :)
