Train Yourself Through ADHD

Here are some ways to train yourself through ADHD.

Steps

 * 1)   Make a schedule for yourself.  This schedule should include everything you need to do for the day(e.g., wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, etc.).  As you go through the day, cross items off the list as you complete them.  Having a list to record what you've successfully done can help motivate you to do what you need to do.

 * 2)   Give yourself time breaks when you have to do work.  For instance, for every half hour you study, you can watch a YouTube video or have a snack.  If you are in school and have to study, switch subjects (English to math) or bring a book to read for two minutes and then go back to your original task.

 * 3)   Give yourself time to be hyper.  If you know you have a lot of classes, go for a run before or after.  If you have a passing period, do a small exercise like ankle/wrist rolls to get rid of energy.  [[Image:Train Yourself Through ADHD Step 3.jpg|center|550px]]
 * 4)   For taking notes, doodle in the margins, this keeps your hands occupied and your mind is less likely to wander.  If you can, bring a craft like knitting or crocheting to keep your hands busy.  Then your hyper movements are productive!  [[Image:Train Yourself Through ADHD Step 4.jpg|center|550px]]

Tips

 * You will always be hyper and distracted with ADHD, but it's not the end of the world. Just realize that you have the ability to not only concentrate on "Just One Thing" but you can also concentrate on "Everything at Once".
