calling folk with ADD

[Courtney]

how do you deal with this annoying thing?
I drink like 2 huge cups of coffee before writing a paper or studying and it helps for a wee while,...nothing really cures it though
I'm sure ridalin would and I've thought about it a plenty
but yeah i'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and has some natural tips!

Pick up your stuff and go where there is no internet, other people, TV, or any other such distractions (especially your phone too)

Doesn't matter if you sit in your car to study, as long as you distance yourself from all these things you'll have a much easier time focusing on the h/w because it's the only thing around.

I also find it helps to break what seems like a massive amount of work down into smaller steps, and after completing each one give yourself a little break and actually enjoy the fact that you've accomplished something.

If you've already been studying for a few hours and you're mind is just wandering like crazy, go for a walk outside, think about anything but what you have to do, and then when you come back try to focus on it again.

Good luck! I'm currently on word 79 out of 3000 which I really really really need/want to finish today so I can do it again tomorrow.

^ Haven't you noticed Courtney's tendency to double-click the "Submit post" button whenever she creates a thread?

Srsly, no clue how but EVERY THREAD SHE POSTS is a dupe.

Good tips from Disco, I find once you get the ball rolling with small steps you start focusing more as your feeling of accomplishment rises. Sometimes you just gotta slap yourself and say, study mofo!
