ADVICE PLEASE: I do so little work in so much time but i dont know why (1 Viewer)

[SoakingWet56]

This has been a problem for a while for me but now that the hsc is near I want to fix it. I always do homework any work and I plan to finish it within 3 hours but it ends up taking most my day to complete it and its so stupid because I don't even know how it happens, I do work and I do get distracted some times but it always like 10 or so minutes for me. It's honestly a problem for me cause I just know I have so much potential in studying so much efficently but this block has been stopping me. (While I am writing this now, I am wasting time on not doing the work I intended to complete )

so real. Maybe try like forcing urself to get it done in a certain time frame and set a timer? Also maybe rewarding urself for completing it in a certian amount of time

How about working out what you get distracted by and then actively not get distracted by them

I did/still do this a lot. Pomodoro timers and some lock in music helps, and make sure to keep away distractions by working in a public place or getting an accountability person to check in on you (family or friend), and closing distracting things. Then look forward to the break where you can slack for a bit and lock in again. Once you get a few cycles in it feels more rewarding than slacking so you’ll lock in even harder (hopefully).

Damn. I did not realize it might be ADHD. Thank u guys for your help. I try look into this and use your advice and I see around people doing logbook as a form of accountability so I might do that as well. And I tried the pomodoro for myself countless times, it so weird but rarely it goes well and ontop of that I dont stay consistent with that so I'll just be more consistent with it everytime I study. Sometimes I'll get distracted by notifications. Now that I think about it and I'm being honest: a random thought will pop up in my head while Im studying so I'll search about it and then one search from that leads to many searches .

do we need medication?

 

[SoakingWet56]

do we need medication?

Honestly I dont think so but im not sure, I talked to Sam Rowan and they its hard for doctors to prescribe medication to minors unless they HAVE TO but you can use coffee in the morning (Take this lightly dont do it just cause I said so since I dont know too much) and take the time before school to work on stuff like revising some content through Anki flashcards.

For diagnosing ADHD, it takes around 6-12 months, if you need to, possibly try now if you need to get provisions for hsc exams.

Thank you Sam Rowan giving me all the advice and info ive mentioned above

hmmm cofee in the morning…i dont even drink coffee and like i wake up at 6 for school so should i even wake any earlier?

 

[SoakingWet56]

For coffee you can buy coffee powder and each morning you can boil milk and put the coffee powder and sugar in.
How long does it take you to get to school? You dont have to wake up any earlier, you can just use the time it takes to go school to study with anki flashcards.

how does coffee help with adhd

 

[SoakingWet56]

I'm not a professional myself and I am stuck but:
but typical adhd drugs are in a category called stimulants which provide an improvement for focus and alertness for short periods of time so its not PERMANAENT fix but a temporary one just to get through studying in the morning.
However, coffee wont be as effective as taking a prescribed drug for ADHD
I shouldn't have said this without knowing too much but coffee can have negative affects like with causing troubles sleeping and hinder development if you're still growing so dont overrely on it or make a habit of it. (Take this lightly since I dont know too much)

hey maybe thats why everytime i study i demand an enegery drink lol also is it weird that i run around my house for an hour everyday or skip in my garage everyday or do something that gets me moving everyday cause for some reason i dont wanna sit still for hours

 

[SoakingWet56]

Oh damn idk. I dont really have that urge but sometimes I do and i think ik what might help with that. Maybe use pomodoro and for each of ur 5 min break walk but make sure you come back when 5 mins are finished I dont know if it will work but its not bad to trial new study methods i mean
