Tips for writing an essay with executive dysfunction: do this.
Write out bits and pieces of the essay. When you get to a part you can’t/”don’t want to” write, put it in bold brackets. Get as much done as you can and come back in a half an hour or so!
If the executive function is still bothering you, take it one bracket at a time. Don’t delete the bracket until you’re done “filling it in,” so to speak. If you need to take more breaks or hop to the next bracket, you can do that too! Similarly, if you have a thought you want to get down but you aren’t sure how to word it, put it in bold brackets as well!
It may not “cure” the executive dysfunction or procrastination problems, but it makes writing the essay more like putting shapes in holes of the same shape. It can be a pain, but the process is a bit more streamlined and user-friendly.
I know this may not work for everyone, but as someone who has really bad executive dysfunction and problems focusing (thank you, ADHD!) this works REALLY well for me! I hope by sharing it it can help other people (with and without executive dysfunction/adhd) too! o/

How to Replace Your Planner: For Attention/Executive Issues
So this is the grand total of my planner. For people with executive issues, massive, detailed planners can be worse than none - it takes a lot of time to flip through all those pages figuring out what’s next, it takes time to meticulously over-schedule your day, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by and ignore, it’s easy to miss things. It’s stressful and time-consuming and doesn’t let you see what’s actually important. But there is a solution!
Your primary goal here is minimalism. You want to strip your planner down to the absolute basics. The less you have to see, the easier it is to decide what you need to do.
Open up a textedit or notepad file, or use Google Docs.
Start with each of your classes. Make a section for each. A “section” here means just type an abbreviation and then two enter/returns.
Go through your syllabus for each class. Mark down the exams and major assignments. (Research papers, that sort of thing.) Make a quick note for each of them in that class’s section with the due date, in order, like “research paper Sep. 3″ “exam Nov. 3″.
Go through the next few weeks on the syllabus and mark down the small, weekly assignments and put them in, in order - no more than three or four. Write these assignments with the due date at the end of the line. Write a … in the file to indicate the end of where you’re marking down minor assignments in your planner.
Make a new section for General. This covers everything outside of classes - doctor’s appointments, e-mails you need to send, etc. Put stuff in there in order by date.
Make a new section for Readings. Make one line for each of your classes. Write the reading only for the next day/overdue.
You’re done!
When you complete something, delete it. After class, write down the next reading. When you get to a …, fill in the next few weekly assignments.
When a professor gives a new assignment that’s not on the syllabus, or changes a due date, adjust your planning file immediately.
Now you can see all the assignments you need to worry about at once - and only the assignments you need to worry about. You can see major assignments way ahead, minor assignments a couple weeks ahead, and readings one class ahead. And they’re all in order! So you can just run down the list and see which due dates are really close, or look at what the more major assignments are.
Never struggle with a planner again. Cut it down to only what you need, and watch as you actually meet those deadlines instead of remembering about them a day too late. Have fun! :)

Study Podcast: A New Way of Studying for the Neurodivergent Among Us
If you are having trouble studying in the traditional way, with flashcards, or reading from the textbook and taking notes, etc. I have a suggestion for you:
I am autistic, and while I can focus on a single thing for a very long period of time, studying takes a lot out of me. It costs a lot of spoons. And that is just studying for one class. This semester I tried a new approach, inspired by my love of podcasts. Instead of reading and re-reading the textbook, or my notes, and or spending hours on making and studying flashcards, I decided to make little “podcasts” for each topic I needed to study for my classes. Here is how it works:
Skim the chapter/reading for the upcoming lecture
Go to the lecture and take notes–put stars next to things that were mentioned both in the textbook and by the professor
If you have time, skim through your notes right after class, just to solidify the ideas in your head
During your study time, use your notes to create a study podcast on the lecture topic. I usually just use the voice memo app on my iphone. If you do not have a smartphone, then you should be able to record on your computer. If you don’t have a computer, your school library should definitely have a computer with free recording software. If you only have use of a library computer, make sure to email the study podcast to yourself, and save the email. Then just open it up on whatever device you have access to and use it to study.
When recording the podcast, if you can, make your notes more like a story that flows, instead of just one fact after another. It will help you to remember better and learn faster.
Now, during your study time, just listen to the podcast over again instead of using a lot of time and energy reading and making flashcards and all of that.
Some issues with the method may be auditory sensory issues. I used to have trouble listening to podcasts in general, and especially listening to a recording of my own voice. I have gotten use to listening to podcasts, and even really enjoy it, though it did take a while. I still have a little trouble with hearing my own voice in a recording, but I am slowly introducing myself to more and more of it, and that seems to help. Also, if you have a good friend or family member who is willing to record the study podcast for you, that could be helpful. You could also type it out on a computer and have the computer read it, and record that.
I find that the study podcast method takes up a lot less spoons, and is actually a better study tool than the traditional method. I find myself remembering many more of the little facts that other students tend to forget. I also find myself putting ideas together faster and easier from one lecture to the next. It makes test-taking, which is a difficulty in and of itself, much easier.
Just a suggestion I want to share with the rest of the neurodivergent community. Hope it helps :)

for the remainder of our term, we will be taking online classes; however, unlike others, our professors refrained from requiring us to have synchronous online meetings, so many of the things i have to do, i have to do on my own time. with this, i have been using notion to plan, organize, and manage my time, and i thought it would be nice to share how i do so!!
hi! i’ve been wanting to make a post like this instead of the usual typed out text post wt a few pictures. i know i’m not the best at it, i’m not rly creative and i’m not skilled at making nice ppt presentations, but i’m trying to get better at it and this is my attempt in doing so !!! i rly hope this helps some of you !! it may look a bit complicated, but it’s honestly the most effective way to plan and schedule for me !! i hope you guys have a great day! :)

Today on things that I’m weirdly and ridiculously emotional about, does anybody else get the spontaneous urge to cry when they see a really gorgeous piece of Architecture? Especially if they happen to be Theatres, Museums, Book Stores, Libraries or Art Galleries? That might sound weird, but seriously, just look at these things:
The Winter Garden Theatre, Toronto Canada
The Margravial Opera House, Bayrueth Germany
El Ateneo Grand Splendid, the Theatre-turned-Library in Barrio Norte, Buenos Aires
The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, Hungary
The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey
The Florence Cathedral in Florence, Italy
The Abbey Library of Saint Gall in Saint Gallen, Switzerland
The Baroque Library of Metten Abbey in Metten Germany
Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland
The Vatican Museums in Vatican City
Konpira Grande Theatre in Kotohira, Japan
Kabuki-za Theatre in Tokyo, Japan
I can’t be the only one who finds these places gorgeous, right? Add your own favorite Architectural Wonders in the comments!

I will sell my soul if someone can find me one of the videos that I can't find anywhere!!! They're a series of super aesthetic somewhat minimalistic cooking videos all with a specific color aesthetic (green, red, or black). There was coffee pouring in the red one I think and they all had nice sounds and visuals for stimming.

Hi everyone! I’ve so enjoyed doing my 2020 quarantine challenge and getting to know so many of you (and discovering your amazing blogs) that i’ve decided to create this new SUMMER STUDYING CHALLENGE! i did consider continuing my other challenge but my school year has now ended and the way i study in the summer and my priorities is very different compared to during school time - which i’m sure is the same for may of you! I’ve created this challenge to try and keep myself motivated during the summer (because i am ridiculously busy XD) but i also want to use this time to get to know many more of you and stay motivated together 💕
