Since a lot of colleges are making in-person classes become online classes I thought I& #39;d share some tips from an ADHD person with lots of online class experience. So, thread?
Tip #1: Set aside a time for working on class work. If you can do that during class meeting times or lecture times, even better.
Tip #2: Download a browser extension to block distracting websites. I use StayFocusd.
Tip #3: Pomodoro timers! Set a timer for 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes break, or 45 minutes of work and 15 minutes of break.
Tip #4: CHECKLISTS. Either paper or digital. I use both, honestly. Todoist is the one I use online which has a mobile and desktop app that both sync up.
Tip #5: Make sure to include deadlines when making your checklists. It& #39;s really easy to get due dates mixed up when you just (wrongly) assume that you& #39;ll remember them.
Tip #6: Get dressed in whatever stuff you& #39;d wear to class and don& #39;t work from bed. It& #39;s really easy to just stay in PJs or comfy clothes and lay in bed all day.
Tip #7: Turn your phone on silent or Do Not Disturb while you work. There& #39;s nothing more distracting than hearing your phone dinging or buzzing when you& #39;re trying to focus on boring tasks.
Tip #8: Make sure your workspace is a clear as you can manage or is at least a level of organized chaos where you know where stuff is.
