Studying effectively presents unique challenges for students with ADHD. The good news is that if you are willing to put in the extra effort at the beginning, you can set up the habits that will ensure you overcome these challenges as you’re learning how to master being a college student. Research shows that ADHD students don’t need to study harder or longer, they need to study differently. Below, in rank order, are my Top 7 Tips to Keep You Strong and Focused:
1. Develop a Routine for How and When You Study
Create a weekly routine to manage everything you do: Studies, meetings, laundry, socializing, etc. You’ll need to write it down and refer to it often if you’re going to stay on top of things.
2. Always Have a Backup Plan
Life happens and your Plan A may not be possible. Therefore, always have a Plan B. This is your insurance policy.
