Lesson Overview

3.08 – Managing Homework with ADHD: ADHD makes homework feel like climbing a hill that never ends. Focus drifts, motivation disappears, and time seems to vanish. Structure and tools make a huge difference. Use timers to keep work in short bursts, like 15-minute sprints. Break tasks into pieces so each one feels possible. Create a distraction-free zone with minimal clutter and noise. Movement breaks can refresh attention better than forcing yourself to sit still. Visual aids, sticky notes, and color coding help memory and organization. Celebrate each small success; dopamine boosts momentum. Build predictable routines so homework starts without debate every day. Apps or alarms can guide reminders until habits stick. Most importantly, forgive slip-ups—they’re part of the pattern, not proof of failure. Progress happens through consistency, not perfection.
