It’s not easy for most people to study. It’s even more challenging for those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Those with ADHD have above normal levels of hyperactivity and a below normal ability to focus on a single task. This makes studying especially difficult for adults and children with ADHD.
These strategies can make studying less of a challenge:
Most of us are easily distracted these days. Those with ADHD are even more susceptible to distractions. It’s worth the effort to create a place to study that is as devoid of distractions as possible.
● A completely bare room with a desk and maybe a clock is ideal. The fewer the number of distractions the better.
No one is particularly good at switching back and forth between tasks. This is even more challenging for someone with ADHD. Choose a task and commit to working on it until either the task or the allocated time is complete. Then, take a break and move forward.
There are people with very short attention spans that have accomplished amazing things by alternating 10-minute work periods with 10-20-minute breaks.
● Remember that a break doesn’t necessarily mean sitting there staring into space. It can be a good time to do a chore around the house, do some pushups, or call a friend.
● Find the right ratio of working time to break time for you. You’ll never know what works for you without experimenting. There’s a right combination for everyone.
