there is something soo real and soft about sleeping next to someone. waking up in the night and being able to snuggle closer. arms touching. it’s just so GOOD
ADHD at night: I could write a book. I could get my Master’s Degree. I could go to the club and come home with 12 new friends. I could get a job at that club and meet the mother of my children. I could cure every disease and use my wealth to bring world peace.
ADHD during the day: Fold laundry too hard :( Come back next week
Try songs in another language - one you don’t speak. The idea is that since you don’t understand the words, your brain doesn’t go “Oh hey, someone is talking to me” and thus you can maintain your focus. Although, this is something probably best suited to writing. But on the other hand, if it works, it works.
Personally, I like Opera. BUT, I advise against using Pandora’s Opera Station. At least in the free version, it either cycles through the same ten Singers/Albums or drifts off into instrumental covers.
On the other hand, it’s great for background noise when gaming. Just be sure you have an ad blocker running. You will also have to confirm that you are listening every hour or so.
It takes me all day to do simple chores because i keep getting distracted. If i put in earbuds with upbeat music I’m done with everything in a couple hours AND i feel really good and probably danced a little i.e. exercised.
really wish I could’ve done this when I was spending 4 hours on every page of math homework in the 90′s. Fast forward to my last year of college when I finally figured out I could just listen to Blackmill and blaze through an entire semester of college math like it was nothing.
Find the study methods that work for you!!! Help kids find the study methods that work for them!
Y'all I just listen to Lana Del Rey. Would recommend because with instrumentals I tend to focus on where actual words would be but with Lana’s stuff her vocals sound like music but it’s words
Go for it! From what I’ve seen, everyone has a different genre but instrumental (no words) seems to be key. I guess Sweet Dreams words are so ethereal, ADHD just rolls with it????
For me, orchestral covers of songs I know work best since my ADHD is using the extra hyperfocus to remember and keep up with words. Have fun experimenting!!
I use orchestra covers of video game music and the LOTR soundtrack
I also find jazz, city pop, and vaporwave work well for this purpose too. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons also got me through many a college paper back in the day.
I use Pokemon music or Youtube readings of reddit stories to do my work.
Pokemon works great for me too, i also have a couple other songs from video games i like to listen to
Headphones are essential for this, I’ve found. Don’t play the music through your speakers.
Instrumentals don’t work for me, it needs to be something with lyrics that I know very, very well, which are fairly regular in terms of beat. I find southern gothic and rock work best. I have playlists that are specifically work playlists, so they’re in the same order every time.
vanilla extract is perhaps the fastest a meme has become unfunny to me. it was funny the first time i saw it (everyone choosing vanilla extract in the “let’s bake a cake” poll), and then it was funny when i saw it in an unrelated poll. and after that it was never funny ever again
I know what you mean. It’s good in small amounts, but if you do it too much it just overpowers all the other posts. It’s too much. A little bit goes a long way, just like when you’re making a ca
