So I'm back and hopefully in a better frame of mind to keep a blog.
This next post is going to be useful.
It's on ORGANISATION
The word dreaded by many with ADHD (or so I assume :) )
It's horrible, it hurts my brain, but I've managed it.
The key is be OVER organised to REMAIN organised
Yes thats it, my folders look like someone with severe OCD has been unleashed upon them, but their organised and thats the point right?
I started this year thinking I've got to work hard, ive got to be super productive or I will fail every task I've given myself. And I can't STAND failing, it me, I've never done it before. I never WILL!!
So I organised my folders into every different section possible e.g.-modules, practicals, tests, homework, and divided it into different teachers.
Then I made a folder for another project -EPQ, and another for something else im doing and so on.
I then made a timetable of work for my frees at school and for the weekends, and everyevening I spend two hours doing non-school related important stuff and give myself two hours to relax.
It's been a headache, but i've developed a routine, and this I feel will be the most important thing to say.
Establishing a routine requires hard work, but once you've got one sticking to it becomes easier and easier and eventually you find yourself doing things rather than sitting around complaining about everything you've got to do.
