Back to School

After making it just 3 weeks into my first semester my first college attempt, I’m finally going back. New school, with a much higher graduation rate. This time I’m just doing a certification course and going at my own pace.

Last time I did not know I had ADHD and my chronic illnesses were being labeled by doctors as simply “hormones and anxiety”. This time, knowing better, I will give myself more grace and ask for help when I need it. Starting off with doing today’s lessons from bed. With upcoming Target, Walmart and Amazon sales I’m hoping to put myself together a nice portable setup so I can work wherever is most comfortable and least distracting.

Do you have any tips for me? Whats your favorite way to take and organize your notes? Study tips? Must have tech?

... Read moreReturning to education can be a transformative journey, especially for those managing ADHD and chronic illnesses. It's essential to establish effective study habits and create a supportive learning environment. For note-taking, consider using digital tools like Notion or Evernote, which can help you categorize and easily access your notes. These tools also offer reminder features, which can assist in staying on track with deadlines. Furthermore, incorporating visual aids into your study routine can enhance information retention. Mind maps and color-coded notes are great ways to visualize concepts and maintain engagement. Don’t hesitate to personalize your study area with items that inspire you—this will create a motivating atmosphere. With various tools available for online courses, such as quiet noise-canceling headphones or organizational apps, you can minimize distractions and maximize focus. Also, reaching out to peers or joining study groups can provide support, while sharing tips and strategies. Remember, pacing yourself is key; it’s okay to ask for help when needed and adjust your learning plan as you go.
