Long-time lurker, encouraged by this community to get properly diagnosed recently (Thanks!).
Ok, to the point: I know taking longer to reach a college degree is normal, and I should just make peace with the fact that it might take me an extra year or two. But two whole years into college, trying hard and never being enough (to prevent failing subjects & falling behind) is …just sad.
Studying feels like trying to make the stars align. I will have to be in the library, with minimal smart devices (Laptop + MP3 player at most), properly prepare for what I need to study (The correct textbooks, maybe a calculator, the right notebook, etc…), in order to have 90% chance of studying.
(Basically the good ol’ “For the next 3 hour I am holding you hostage” way)
This works… but it is really slow and takes a lot of time for average amount of studying.
I would love to experiment with other methods, and hope to hear about how other people manage their studying.
I wonder how well this will work for math related subjects. Will definitely do this for Spanish learning though!
For your Spanish I advice you to make your flashcards for vocab and grammar at the beginning of the week and work on them. But especially cram all of them to review before a test.
For math, I’m not sure but I see online decks on the Anki website for math. I’m not good at math but I would imagine using it to memorize methods may be helpful
