Maybe I can write something on paper and then structure my work plan

Same actually. Studies and work sometimes are quite hard to me.
But I have ADHD.

Depends entirely on the task, if it’s a hobby I’m really into - then hours and hours. If not, barely 30 minutes.

I’m not sure, I’ve never timed it. However long it takes my dog to blink.

Lol. seriously, my dad has these staredowns with the dog on ocassion, when she is watching him, to see who blinks first.

I’ve done it once or twice.

Published research states now mankind after the invention of the TV has a attention span of 5 seconds which is shorter than a goldfish.
Best way to study is in blocks of 20 minutes followed by a 20 minute rest, buy research.
Another study has proven that studying long into the morning has a higher test score but the lack of retained memory in the long run than going to bed

@Kxev do you study ui ux ?

What if you need to study with computer screen

It’s hard from the constant distractions
I really wouldn’t know maybe aeroplane mode
I do know that man’s ability to focus attention is at its limits at 20 minutes, that’s why it advised 20 minutes work 20 minutes rest

and what do you during breaks

Does playing video games improve focus?

They suggested going for a walk if possible.

It’s the rapid screen changes that destroys our attention spans,
The screen changes used to be about every 7 seconds in the 90s now it’s ruffy every 3 seconds, which is the major course for the attention span to lesson

I walk a lot but it won’t help I just get tired

I’m not intelligent
But I’ve learnt this from, the media on the brain video series, from belt of truth ministries.
If you don’t mind the religious things you can get a lot of information for the belt of truth ministries.
You can even download the series on audio on some music download apps

The more you do it the better you will get at it. Keep pushing.

I have adhd so maybe 5 seconds of focus! It’s bad.

My mind is always 278,000,000 steps ahead of my body/actions.

I always look like a fool and make careless mistakes/decisions and just function poorly because of everything adhd.

I used to take a stimulant but they are in shortage.

I hear you. It’s hard.
