I was diagnosed with ADHD a few weeks ago, ive been put onto the waiting list for titration to start meds but it looks like its still gonna be a few months. I could really do with getting my meds asap as ive got exams and coursework coming up, anyone have recommendations for stuff to help with keeping me focused? I’m currently just downing monsters like they’re water whenever I need to do work
Noise canceling headphones with music that’s not too distracting and not too boring (instrumental hip hop beats or DnB) work wonders for me.
This helps, but I need to be in the zone a bit first.
Yeah, the sad reality of ADHD is that traditional focus aids only help if you’re already focused on something.
YMMV. I find background music to be cripplingly distracting (though it took me a while to realize this).
It’s the same for me if the music has words in it. If there aren’t any words in it then it doesn’t get distracting for me.
