Then I'll usually find myself listening to nothing for a few hours after I finished my project/homework/paper and start doing something else.Sedgwick JA, Merwood A, Asherson P. Sometimes I'll listen to music or a book or podcast that I like with my headphones on, then when I get to a certain point, usually a problem I can't solve easily, I'll pause what I'm playing while leaving the headphones on.
If you're in a quiet environment, I'd get some really good bass/noise canceling headphones. I'll switch tasks every few minutes, but because the project is right in front of me, I'll also keep coming back to it and chip away at that a few minutes at a time.Ħ. This way I have enough things going on to stimulate me, and that for some reason kicks my brain on into focus mode. I'll set the lights in my room to different colors, play a show I've seen on mute with subtitles on, listen to music that I've heard a lot before, have a game that's okay on, and pull up some articles that are kind of interesting, and then have my assignment/project pulled up in the middle. When I need to get a project done now, I'll usually try to amp up the environment I'm in. Try adding more when you need to focus on something boring. They may suffer from boredom when required to do unnecessary, repetitive work that less gifted students may need. Gifted students with ADD (ADHD) often struggle with anxiety, even when grades are high. I didn't do that, and kept crashing every 3 weeks because I put sleep last.ĥ. Even when academic performance is high, the hidden cost of ADD (ADHD) is often taking a toll. But very important note: make sure that you still get 7.5-8 hours of sleep, and eat enough healthy food.

Keep adding things that you like to your life until half of your days have a pretty full schedule, so that way you can do more work with the pressure of deadlines throughout the day. But the benefits of working out and having a good body and feeling sore are awesome and a good distraction that can make you feel proud, which helps mental health.Ĥ. I was in sports, so we did a ton of exercise and it was fun because it felt like a challenge and constant competition while also being a contribution if I get as strong and fast as I could overtime.
But if you need a major project done and just can't do it, and don't have other options, drinking coffee (under the max recommended dosage of 400mg caffiene per day) and a lot of chocolate or cookies with chocolate in them, while doing it should boost your dopamine enough to focus with the looming deadline coming up.ģ. Definitely a short term solution and over doing it is unhealthy and will make you feel bad in the long run. Then use the rush of a deadline and something exciting to do your homework or start your project in that hour before you have to leave, finish it, and then go to your friends house (probably late) after finishing your homework.Ģ.
Schedule time to hang out with a friend, (preferably one who's okay with you being late) then do stuff you want to do or simple things you can do without much willpower. I fell into a mess without that exact set up and avoiding caffiene for a few years though, so I'd use my suggestions only as a temporary solution. In highschool, I kept a 4.0 even with a lot of extra curriculars and 3 jobs and a girlfriend and a lot more. I just got diagnosed at 23 mainly due to my time management issues and mood and this same problem in work.
