Cussing in French has to sound hilarious!!
i highly support lo fi music! in grade school, when studying, i could never find the perfect music. lo fi did it for me. i donāt have adhd, but i do have ocd and struggled with that as a child.
One of the few things I know in french (priorities am I right?)
me too I like lo fi
I have the same problem! I usually do work until I get tired, then take 5-minute break max. It doesnāt matter if the work time is only 5 minutes, a short break has me refocuses better than trying to slog through. Hope this helps!
i also have adhd, and i have a horrid time concentrating as well. what works for me:
- keep yourself busy (knee bouncing, finger tapping, etc)
- take lots of breaks! especially if you cant focus, this helps your brain rechargeā

- listen to music you know really well! that way its background music and you dont have to think abt the lyrics, you just know them
- if youāre studying, do a pose like touching your toes or things like that, and every time you switch what thing youāre learning, do a different pose!
- watch a tv show thats mildly boring so your full attention isnt on it, so youāre still working
i hope you find some ways that help you focus!! <3
Might I ask what kind of music you have tried to listen to? Because recently, I have learned that symphonies or piano really helps me focus, because it kind of just silences all the background noise for me. And it might not be the same for you. Iām sorry if I am already recommending something you already did but I just thought I would throw it out there. You can maybe mess around and find a type of music that really calms all the craziness going on up in your brain.
I donāt even have any ideas, Iām just reading other peopleās ![]()
Jazz works well for me as well as some rousing classical music,
Kahoot music. Puts ur brain into instant focus mode. Not the lobby music, use the 20 second question one, thatās the one u usually hear when playing kahoot. Itās genius.
I also have a mini whiteboard. Writing on it is so fun so it helps me focus heaps! I do online school so I take notes on that to keep me focused.
Also, when cleaning, I find playing with my dog while simultaneously cleaning works for some reason? Like I can hang clothes better with one hand while I play with doggo better than I can normally. Itās weird.
Anyway, good luck!
(Note that Iām not diagnosed, but Iāve done a screening and itās almost absolutely certain Iām neurodivergent in some way or another, we knew even before that screening test lol itās obvious to family)
all of it ![]()
well at least songs I like and know and classical music
um funny story, i pretend a character or someone i like is giving the lecture of that subject bc it keeps my head locked in
i dont think ill be that helpful but here are somethings i do when im kinda nervous or cant concentrate
so basically idk if this helps but it did help me i couldnāt rlly concentrate when i was doing school work w music but then i figured out some music that doesnāt rlly break my concentration stuff like lofi,brown noise or just rain droplets
idk if this works but my friend who has ADHD told me some tips she uses she says she uses like a 5 sec rule ill try to explain as much as i can when you notice āI should do my homework,ā literally count 5-4-3-2-1 and force your body to start moving toward it before your brain argues and theres another one i tried but it didnt rlly work for me but ill tell u anyways :D reverse your deadlines tell a friend or someone, āIf I donāt finish this essay in an hour, Iāll send you my most embarrassing thing .ā(smth like that) srry for the very longg message and good luck w debate just a small tip coming from someone who is on a debate team if u cant rlly concentrate or dont know what to say i usually do summary speaker if u are a rlly good listener i think it will be easy u dont rlly have to think much you just have to extend abit hope this helps!
for me food or gum helps the most otherwise if i donāt have anything, my fingers have nothing to do and i end up biting the skin around my fingers until the bleed ![]()

so yh morale of the story for me is FOOD IS THE BEST!!!
I assume that you like math because of the āsolving a puzzleā aspect of it. If so, you might like my technique: I had a really tough time studying History because I couldnāt remember anything specific. So I made insanely complexe mind maps. Making a map took a long time but it was not as boring as reading the lessons because I was focusing on fitting elements from the lesson into my mind map, rather than remembering the lesson. The goal was to use only keywords.
My plan was to then use the mind map as study notes (faster to read than my class notes), but creating it took so much brain power that I remembered every single detail from the moment I finished my map, no extra studying involved. It also made it easier to remember important info during exams because I could think āwhere was X element on my map? What element was next?ā
A few things that I do that helps me focus and stop procrastinating are
- getting in a comfy location/position (Not laying in bed)
- Have whatever you will need to work on within reach. ie. pencil, computer, assignment, whatever
- For me personally I need some sort of background sound so I usually would listen to whatever lyrical song Iām currently hyper-fixated on, on loop or if it is copying notes i might throw on a show or video to tune out.
Hope this helps.
Us ADHD people have a super power at the moment somethingās due, we get it done, hehe. I looove math too! Something I do, is if I am bored, I stop, and walk around a little. Or do something I like, either one.
I dont know that app but thereās a simmilar one i used before called study bunny
When I was a kid, I use to play challenge games with myself. Like , how fast can I get dressed?
How fast can I put these clothes away.
Or, my favorite, watch a show, then how fast can I put my laundry away during the commercials.
Or, what can I get done before this song is over?
Bold of you to assume I have a way to focus /j. I have the same issue, if I donāt like something I canāt focus for anything but if Iām interested you physically canāt pry me away </3
