This is a genuine struggle. I get diagnosed with ADHD last year, and it explained so much. When I try to write an essay, my brain screams at me after ten minutes. I get up, I check my phone, I pace around, I stare out the window. A 3-page essay takes me twelve hours because I can only focus in tiny bursts. Medication helps, but it's not a magic fix. For my fellow neurodivergent students: what are your strategies? Do you use specific apps? Write in weird places? Dictate instead of type? I need practical, actionable advice from people who understand that 'just sit down and do it' doesn't work for brains like ours.
I have ADHD and I physically cannot sit still to write an essay. Any tips?
