ADHD brains don't fail 2-hour study blocks. The block is the wrong length.
If you have ADHD, a 2-hour "just sit down and study" session is a trap.
Your attention isn't broken. It runs in short, intense windows. After about 20–30 minutes, the tank is empty. You call that quitting. It's actually your brain asking for a reset.
What works instead:
25 minutes, one task, phone face down
5 minutes off your chair. Water. Stretch. No new tabs.
Repeat. The win is finishing the sprint, not finishing the textbook tonight.
The other piece nobody talks about: the sentence that shows up at minute 18. "This is pointless." "I'll start later." That's not a fact. That's fatigue talking.
When that line hits, don't argue with it. Swap it. Stand up, 5 minutes, then start the next sprint anyway.
Streaks matter because ADHD memory is cruel. Yesterday's 4 sprints feel like they never happened. A visible streak is proof you can trust.
Don't study longer. Study in sprints you can actually finish.
