Not an indictment on you. Assuming you have ADHD, the brain chemicals that say to get it done early are always working for people without ADHD who operate on a natural deficit of dopamine and norepinephrine than others. If youre autistic, Im pretty sure it’s similar but idk. Im both.

Yeah man. I don’t think it’s productive to pretend to be something you’re not by following study habits designed for neurotypicals. Give your brain permission to think. Thats what college is for anyway.
