Studying Tips for ADHD
1․ Time-Based Study Methods
Make your studying tasks time-based. For example, switch 20 math problems to 30 minutes of math problems. A definite goal will help you reach it.
Reward yourself in small ways, like with a piece of chocolate or a small break, for assignments. If you have trouble keeping up with assignments then produce larger rewards for the longer you keep up with assignments, like a trip to the icecream store or a new game you've been wanting.
3․ Use Fidgets or Stimulants
Chew gum, listen to music, or put a podcast/show on in the background. Sometimes stimulants/fidgets can help you focus, though what kind of fidgets/stimulants varies from person to person, so find those that work best for you.
Create false deadlines for certain projects. Often the stress of a looming deadline can help you really focus on it and get it done. You can also use this for just simply studying. Instead of saying when you're going to start studying, say when you're going to end. Now you've given yourself a deadline and you're more likely to meet it.
Some people find it beneficial to read aloud, as it helps them retain the information better and stops their mind from wandering so much. You can also use reading comprehension methods, like SQ3R, which is explained in my previous posts.
