So, the past weeks I haven’t been as productive in my school classes as I’d like (online homeschool type things, I set my own pace) so a few days ago I deleted some games on my phone and rearranged my desk to remove distractions to try to set myself up for better success
Nothing has changed :|
Help xD How does one be productive

Don't set a goal to have a certain amount of work done. Set a goal to try.
Not "My goal is to complete all of these assignments today"
Rather "My goal is to try to work on these assignments."if you want you could add an element of time to it. "My goal is to try to work on these assignments for x time"
but i like it vaguer tbh. I work on my assignments until I feel proud with what i've accomplished, and then I'm done. It isn't the most efficient, but otherwise, i'd do literally nothing.
That's my current motto. 'Something is better than nothing.'

yeah sort of like wiz said, i use the pomodoro timer to get tasks done and i try not to do anything other that schoolwork in the place i do schoolwork at home. i usually just block out, like, 4 hours on a saturday to get through stuff i need to get done and nothing else. i use pomofocus.io but you can also just set timers of 20-30 minutes for tasks and 5 minutes for breaks, alternating until you get a task done and then taking a longer (10 min) break before starting on the next thing.
rant-ish thing abt adhd and forgetting my meds below lmao
Spoileralso meds if i don’t take my meds i hardly get anything done lmao
i will sit at my desk and stare at a piece of paper for an hour or so before wondering ‘hey, did i take my meds today?’
but then it’s too late in the day to take my meds cos they do the same thing coffee does where it makes it hard to sleep
and then i’m like ‘i’ll just wake up early tmrw and get in done’
but nooooooo that never works
