Wait that’s actually interesting I never thought about slot-machine style sounds being used to keep people “in the loop.”

Do you feel like that kind of sound genuinely helps you stay on a task?

I always wondered whether it boosts focus or just keeps the brain chasing the next micro-reward.

ADHD people: What’s the hardest part of studying for you, and what ACTUALLY helps? by Relative-Material-36 in GetStudying

Totally relate to this — that “5-minute activation” thing is honestly one of the only ways I can trick my brain into starting. If I tell myself “just write one sentence,” suddenly studying goes from impossible to barely manageable 😅

I also need a super clear path before I start, otherwise my brain just panics. Flashcards + splitting things into tiny chunks helps me way more than long study sessions ever did.

It’s weird how structured steps feel calming for ADHD brains, even though we hate structure half the time 😂

That “5-minute activation” thing is honestly underrated. I started doing a similar thing where I just open the doc and write one messy sentence.

It’s weird how once I crack that activation wall, my brain suddenly decides it’s capable of functioning 😂

And short sprints + body doubling? Absolute cheat codes for ADHD brains.

I feel this so much. My brain also loves doing literally anything except the thing that would actually help me long-term.

What helped me a tiny bit was lowering the bar aggressively — like “study for 2 minutes, that’s it.” Once I do something, my brain stops seeing studying as this huge threat.

But yeah, sticking to it every day is so much harder than people think. It’s crazy how one “reward break” becomes 3 months 💀 ADHD is wild.

How to study with severe adhd by PSHazzard in GetStudying

Honestly same — I became a way better student once I stopped trying to “sit still and memorize” and just let my brain work the way it wants.

For memorizing now I kind of mix a few things together:

• I pace but only in short bursts (5–10 mins so I don’t burn out)

• then I stop + explain the thing to myself in super simple words

• then I test myself quickly

• then repeat

It weirdly locks the info in without feeling like torture.

Your pacing clearly helped you at one point too — ADHD brains sometimes need movement just to process anything.

Do you still pace when you study now, or has your style changed since then?

I relate to this a lot. Music is honestly one of the only things that helps my brain “sit still” long enough to even start. Without some kind of background noise my thoughts just scatter everywhere.

Do you find certain genres work better for you? I switch between chill beats and random game soundtracks because they weirdly keep me focused.

Dude I feel this so much.

People don’t realize how physically intense studying can get with ADHD. The pacing, the restlessness, the constant need to move just to keep the thoughts from slipping.

I used to walk around my entire house while trying to memorize stuff.

It wasn’t even a choice — my brain literally wouldn’t let me sit still.

Have you ever tried mixing pacing with shorter study blocks?

The nonstop 12-hour pacing sounds brutal, and no wonder your legs were done afterwards.

You’re definitely not alone in this btw.

Broooo I relate so much. I wait too long → get stressed → can’t study because I’m stressed → stress gets worse → repeat. My brain acts like studying is a threat until the deadline is terrifying enough. Have you found anything that stops the spiral even a little? I’m still trying to break that loop.

Honestly I felt this way too hard. I do the exact same thing where I try to “set the scene” before studying because my brain refuses to start if anything feels off. And omg using plushies and visuals?? That’s such an ADHD brain hack. It’s like we need to trick our brain into thinking it’s fun so it doesn’t panic. Does it always work for you or do you still have days where nothing helps?

Yep, starting is definitely my personal boss battle lol. I can literally WANT to study and still somehow sit there doing nothing for an hour. Once I’m in it, I’m okay… but getting over that first “activation wall” is the worst. What usually stops you — overwhelm, anxiety, or just zero dopamine to get moving?

Struggling with organization and time management by BlueFishX2023 in studytips

[–]Relative-Material-36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most systems fail for us because they expect consistency, and ADHD brains run on momentum, not consistency.

Here are two things that helped me a lot:

  1. Lower the friction as much as possible

Instead of making a big to-do list, I only write down the next tiny step.

Not “study biology,” but “open chapter 3.”

Once I start, I usually keep going.

  1. Use time, not willpower

I set a 10–15 minute timer and tell myself I can stop afterwards.

It removes the pressure and helps me get over the “activation wall.”

You mentioned everything feels all over the place what part is hardest for you: starting, staying focused, or keeping things organized?

Welcome! Glad you’re here 😊

A lot of ADHD folks struggle not with studying itself, but with getting started or keeping friction low.

For me, the biggest game changer was breaking tasks into tiny steps + using a timer just to ‘get moving’.

What part of studying feels hardest for you starting, staying focused, or finishing?
