The Pomodoro technique is a common time management hack, suggesting a standard 25 minute work period spaced with 5 minute breaks. My biggest hurdle was switching from the 5-minute breaks back to work.

Study tipps that work for me as an autistic ADHDer
(who massively struggled with any school related studying for years)
Finding out when I can focus best. I can't think by daylight. I need it to be dark outside to study. Therefore I study at night. If you can study at the time of the day you can focus best, do that. It doesn't matter if everyone else gets up at 5 am to do their ✨perfect productive morning routine✨. There's no one right time to be productive.
Stimming or moving while studying if I feel like it I can't focus (especially when I have to listen to recorded lectures for hours) when I don't move. I need to sit in my rocking chair and rock back and forth to take in any information at all. Pay attention to if you feel like moving when studying. If you're used to suppressing your stims, try to relearn stimming in a safe space if possible. The better regulated you are, the easier it will be to focus.
Nice distractions. Ali Abdaal once mentioned that he always studied with his door open so friends who passed by would come in for a little chat. You need to take breaks anyway, so think about somethings like that to make them more enjoyable. If you study at home or live alone, text your friends before you start studying, so replies will drift in while you're studying. TL;DR: 1. Study when you can focus best, you don't need to be productive in the morning if you're not a morning person. 2. Listen to your body and move if you need to move to focus. 3. Make your breaks nice, I like chatting with friends in between studying. Feel free to add what works for you : )

remember if you ever want to read an article for free and the subscription ad prevents you from reading the entire article DO NOT
Reload it and immediately turn off your Internet access (data/WiFi if you are using a phone)
Reload it and click the 'X' next to the return icon on the top left of your window (if you are on desktop)
Reload the page, type 'Ctrl+ A' and 'Ctrl+ C' and paste everything onto an open document

Unleashing Focus: How Pomodoro Transformed My Procrastination Habits
Hey fellow students! 👋 Today, I'm sharing a study game-changer that turned my procrastination habits around : the Pomodoro Technique. As a second-year electrical engineering student, I've faced the challenges of balancing coursework, labs, and exams. The Pomodoro Technique has been my secret weapon, significantly improving my focus, productivity, and overall academic performance.
Overcoming Procrastination
I used to be a notorious procrastinator. The daunting size of tasks overwhelmed me, leading to delayed assignments and last-minute cramming. Enter Pomodoro, and everything changed.
Pomodoro in Action
Here's how I apply the Pomodoro Technique to overcome procrastination and boost my grades:
Clear Goals: Before each study session, I set specific tasks or topics to cover during the Pomodoro intervals.
Timed Focus: Using a simple timer app, I dive into focused 25-minute (up to 50 minutes) study sessions, eliminating distractions and boosting productivity.
Short Breaks: After each Pomodoro, I take a 5 or 10-minute break to refresh my mind, stretch, or grab a quick snack.
Longer Breaks: Every four Pomodoros, I reward myself with a 15-30 minute break to fully recharge.
Results Speak Louder
Since adopting the Pomodoro Technique, my grades have seen a remarkable improvement. The structured approach transformed me from a procrastinator into a focused and efficient learner.
If you're battling procrastination and seeking a study routine that works, give the Pomodoro Technique a shot. It's not about the quantity of study hours but the quality of focused learning.
To keep myself motivated and help other students, I recorded my study sessions using this technique and made them available online. You can check my channel if you’d like to give it a try.
Try it out, and let me know how Pomodoro works for you! Happy studying! 📚💡

the best night routines start in the morning
tips from an anxious psychology student who loves sleep 💤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🌅 todos whenever you wake up:
our brains are wired to notice contrast, so take this time to show your brain what it's like to be awake! the more you wake up, the more you can wind down later~ some suggestions:
wash your face
brush your teeth
eat something!! (then take your supplements, don't take them on an empty stomach)
make your bed (for max freshness when you go back to sleep though, i recommend you leave your bed to air for at least a few hours)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☀️ todos throughout the day:
now our goal is to tire ourselves out enough so that we can have happy sleeps later! we need to focus on both the mental and physical aspects of this. some suggestions:
exercise
learn something new
get sunlight (no, vitamin D doesn't count, although you should be taking your required supplements)
experience an emotional rollercoaster (not exactly recommended as it may backfire in the form of keeping you awake with a spiral of uncontrollable thoughts)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
��� todos before bed:
the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! while going to bed at a regular time helps with conditioning yourself to fall asleep, sometimes that's just not possible, so here are some other suggestions:
check your wake up alarms (are they set for the latest possible time? do you actually need an alarm?)
lie down in the dark while having a nonsensical conversation with yourself (our brains automatically tune out stuff that don't make sense, so trick your brain into tuning itself out — especially helpful in the event of an emotional rollercoaster kind of day)
use a comfortable sleep mask (blocks out all light even from peripheries but still allows you to breathe comfortably, isn't too tight around the head)
earbuds make pretty good earplugs or you can play white noise/soothing music/etc. to block out louder noises
feel free to add your own suggestions in the reblogs/comments~ sweet dreams! 🛌

A few things ive been doing recently that help manage my adhd
Not sure if this will help anyone but i've made a list of things ive been working really hard to do to help manage my adhd and general inability to be a functional adult:
Make reminder posters! Get on canva and create personalized posters to put around your room/house to help remind you to do daily things like take your meds, feed pets, take out trash, etc.
Keep a junk notebook! Anything you think of that cant do immediately write it down. If its important it'll help you remember it, if not it saves you from getting distracted or making impulsive decisions. (This is especially helpful if you tend to get distracted when studying!)
CLEAN AS YOU GO! Whether its taking a cup out of your room every time you leave or washing each dish immediately after use. If you can develop this habit it keeps your space so much cleaner!
Have two laundry bins: one for worn but not dirty things and one for dirty things. It limits what ends up on your floor!
Make use of bins. I have several around my apartment that I use for things that dont have a home. Once those bins are full, I go through them and discard or find a permanent home for them.
Don't study/work at home. Even if it means buying a $5 coffee just so you can sit in a spot and effectively work, its much better than getting so behind on tasks you get overwhelmed.
It takes some work to develop habits and im far from perfect with all of these, but if I can do these things even 3 days a week it makes a huge difference!

Time Blocking
Time-blocking: scheduling out EVERY PART of your day
What to time-block
Inflexible events (lectures, work shifts, appointments)
Routines (getting ready for school/work, getting ready to go to sleep, etc.)
Tasks (studying, homework, projects, chores, etc.)
How to time-block:
Get a calendar (preferably digital so it’s easily changeable.) I use a mix of Google Calendar and iCalendar.
Make separate calendars for separate parts of your life (personal, work, school.) I personally separate my classes as well because it’s easier.
Schedule all inflexible events first. Why? To see how you can balance and schedule your day around those times.
Schedule the time it takes to get to school/work. It helps you see how much time you have to do stuff that doesn’t require you to commute. (You can also study while commuting, but it can be harder if you have multiple transfers, or get easily car-sick. Also, public transit can be dangerous, so be careful.)
Schedule the tasks you need to do. Homework, studying, laundry, cleaning. Estimate the time you think it takes to do those things. If you have ADHD, you should probably multiply that time to 2 (or 3), because you will most likely get distracted and not finish it in time (instead of 15 minutes, it’s probably 30 minutes.)
All short individual tasks like taking out garbage and folding laundry, you should group those short tasks together in one block and just make a to-do list.
