Tips for focusing on very boring study notes?
I'm studying for a test and the only resources I have are the presentations and somebody's notes in text form. It's a knowledge-retrieval test (no counting/reasoning), and unfortunately I don't know what the questions look like so it seems I really will have to go through everything covered.
Now of course some inanimate notes and a PPT file are the most un-captivating learning format that a person with ADHD could face. One thing I'm good at is going down rabbitholes, so I thought about just googling questions I have about the things written on each page. But the notes go on for 60 pages and it would take a really really long time. I'm lost for ideas. Has anybody found any learning techniques that help when focusing on things as bland as this?
I would climb to the top of our step ladder, or any safe high place that would trigger my vertigo but lower than where the fear kicks in. Later as an adult when I got diagnosed, I learned that the sense of balance and balancing exercises can help tone down ADHD. I had no idea but I had found a way to do it.
PS any place high up can do, I also loved reading at the top of stairs, of at the top of a hill with a clear view below me. The step ladder was easy to do in my bedroom during the winter.
Ooh what a fascinating life hack. I can totally imagine this working!
It also has the benefit of placing you away from distractions and you need to climb down to do anything else than reading you lessons.
Interesting, I've always been more together after a bike ride, but never heard anything offical on that.
The endorphins you get from working out are probably helping, too
Meant motorbike ride, a fast one yes it could be counted as exercize, but I'm thinking about how effective sedate trips to the shops are.
In the book ADHD 2.0 there’s a whole section about balance exercises
