If you want to know more of how I focus using these ADHD study techniques and how I treat my ADHD without the use of medications than watch this video here: 👉 ruclips.net/video/KLdZFhbVcNs/видео.html 👈
As someone with adhd who watched literally 5 other videos (all of which I didn't finish), thanks for making this video engaging and not boring. I made it through! Thanks
THANK YOU. Finally someone who isn't simply telling me to remove distractions and just study. I have to study for my finals and everyone is just talking about what environment to study in and talking SO SLOW.
Speed reading genuinely helped me through highschool. I was a topper back then, so you can trust me. When i say nothing can stop you from reaching the TOP… nothing can. To all my ADHD friends…YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
As a student of stem with dyslexia and adhd, (and also being diagnosed as an adult), I’ve been looking for a channel exactly like this to help me find ways to help me figure out how my brain works!!! Ur a real G
Im ADHD and obsessed with anything medical, I went on to become a basic EMT and never went any further because I struggled with focusing, now that I have the diagnosis and know how my brain works Im determined to go on and study further. thank you for the encouragement
@@Muhammadkaleem-to3bn I would say focusing on my end goal is inspiration on days when I feel I cant cope. I imagine myself as a successful medical practitioner and I always tell myself this has to be difficult because nothing that comes easy is worthy in life. for example maths, I hate it but force myself to get obsessed about understanding it and hyperfocus on it. If maths was easy everyone would have been genuises. its a lot about your mindset
I realized I had been already using quite a few of these techniques before I even discovered or got diagnosed with ADHD. Especially doodling and making my own mnemonics.
Got diagnosed two weeks ago and have thrown myself into a sea of videos in the hopes of trying to work with myself rather than against myself… I’ve probably watched 100 tip videos on ADHD and while I found helpful tidbits while watching, this particular one has been the most helpful video I’ve come across for my current college struggles. I’m 32 and returned to college at 31 for a quick cert program. I’ll be done by end of this summer. I know I’ll love the job after I’m done getting through school, because it’s interesting to me, BUT getting there and getting through some of these terribly boring subjects has been driving me insane. So thank you for this. I already kinda do the search and find game thing, but always used to shame myself for doing it that way as it’s not the “normal way.” I can give myself some grace now and embrace that it’s ok to do things differently. Great advice.
Thanx for the tips. You are right, drawing pics does help with the focus. People always think I'm not listening in church or class but then, I have diagrams and pictures and everything, and notes showing all of what I heard and it surprises everyone.😅
I’m absorbing your content and learning for my 2 sons !!! My 7 years old is struggling in school with adhd. I’m learning all I can to teach him in a visual entertaining way . Ultimately the success in school resides in finding techniques that are effective for us to understand the content.
Great video, I wish I found this sooner!! Another tip I could add: once you've got some info studied, talk about it with friends. Like a study session, but not with only being quiet and studying together, rather interactive and your friends might have some new insight. For me at least, talking with friends made all the info stick better than only hearing it from the teacher.
Do you have a video on exam questions for adhd? I find i struggle with breaking down long questions and making sense of whats being asked of me. LOVE your videos, i dont think you realise how much you're helping me overcome my long-standing education trauma! I will pass my chemistry this year, i can taste it!!
I always let space out. Never learn by heart. Few words taking me a half of hour. I just let myself space out and just absorb knowledge. Usually work, especially with languages
One of the best videos on RUclips with the tips for people with ADHD. I also have it and I have dyslexia. I was late diagnosed at the age 36. Interestingly enough I’ve been intuitively using ALL the techniques Dr LeGrand is suggesting. Highly recommend them, too 👍 Thank you for the video ❤️
Bro the "question" tip was so helpful my mind is curios it just want to solve problems all the time and this gave me enough focus to finish the entire page I'm reading unlike before.
I used to avoid studying bc I cant just sit down and study like my mom wanted me too. Only now at university Im learning how to study that the info sticks in my brain
Important Points for studying: 1. Spoilers are good 2. Visual learning should come first before textbooks. 3. Draw visual fun mind maps instead of writing boring textual notes. Make it as much fun as possible. 4. Mnemonics are good. Make it NSFW if needed.
Agreed, specially the 1st point. I even can not watch a movie without watching the spoilers first. My wife always get very angry at me. But i told her this is how my brain works, spoilers make a movie more interesting to adhd people.
Came here looking for support for my current struggle with focusing. To say very helpful video ❤. Adding something to mind maps, mind mapping the whole content list around the main topic or subject is really helpful to see the big picture of how things relate to the topic. Thank you Dr.leGrand for this video 🫡
Reading about communication theory and other mess in my college courses had me skimming and day dreaming all the time. It was so hard but thankfully I got through it. I have one week til I graduate! I wish I would have watched this earlier in my college career!
Thank you so much I have never heard of any of these concepts before. They make so much sense. I am going to try them cuz I'm in college now and the things I did in high school are not working anymore. I really appreciate it.
Your videos are so good ! I don’t know how they don’t have hundreds of thousands of views. I usually can’t watch videos if they are good for me (? lol). They just sit in my watch later. But yours are one of the only ones I can actually sit and listen to- I think because you get to the point with every sentence 😂
bro thankyou a lot I find out coloring stuff make my brain easier to remember, I wonder how do you deal with: 1. the weird feeling on your leg: -makes me want to keep moving it like shaking your leg or walking 2. how you deal with sickness amplified feeling: -when I was sick it being amplified it keep distracting me
I have both of those too and dysgraphhia which effects writing. Great videos these have helped, and validated some of the tactics I used to get through tests and ordinatio. Doodles helped me alot, i am gonna try mind maps with some courses I am working on for continued education.
Now I need you to break down each tip with examples! That’s how my brain works! Sounds great but I need to figure out how each one works and the steps for each one. I’m still confused with the mind mapping.
The ideas are so real here. Now I understood why i was so good in high-school. But later i didn't did the things used to do previously. Thats why i struggled in graduation. Finally now i can do the stuffs because of the stuffs here in video reminded. Thanks @doctorlegrand
I was so happy to see that the video is short, so I wouldn’t distract myself… but got distracted in the middle 😢 damn it But anyways, this video is the best of all I watched so far. Thank you 🥰
I’m a high sophomore or low junior in comp Sci. I’m half way done with my degree and have dropped calc 2 multiple times. I can never ever get myself to pay attention. I’m good at picking up patterns quite a bit. And actually understand what I’m doing, however, I cannot remember anything due to lack of studying or good quality studying. I’m a boxer, and I can box all day and workout like a monster. I just find math boring and uninteresting. Sometimes I feel so sad, I don’t even know if I’m normal😂. But, I hope adhd medicine helps I pray to the Lord.😅
I’m at a point where I go back to things I loved in high school and as a child growing up. I loved the idea of being a business woman and running my own company. I passed that class with an A. I still have that itch and it was also a time where I went through a lot of trauma and no one was there to protect me. Now I’m doing things I loved doing and should’ve went to college for as a way to protect the little girl and teenager who was never listed to, called stupid, or just never protected. I have a feeling I’m gonna earn my degree because of what I went through. I know this will make me the happiest woman I’ve been dying to be. And telling both my toxic parents to F off of course 😂
I still don't understand how to use flashcards once they've been made. I get making them would help remembering info but... what the heck do you do with them then?
How does one determine if they have ADHD? I do exactly what you described while reading. Certain words take me off into past memories. I typically make it about 2 minutes. Many times, I have to go back and re-read the paragraphs and still can't remember anything.
This was a great video because all of the other ones had me bored out of my mind and it took me 30 mins to finish them when they were around 5 mins lol
Hello sir, i have ADHD and i have problem making relation of subjects with objects as you were explaining in the last part. I do follow the first two by the way and those help but i am not able to make notes and brainmap... i feel them too much taxing to me :) any suggestions........
If you struggle taking notes you might do better by recording lectures and listening to them over and over again or have a studious classmate that makes good notes that is willing to give you a copy of them for you to study from.
I'm not diagnosed with ADHD or anything like that although both me and my parents suspect that I may have it or something similar. But anyways, this video is still helpful even if I have ADHD or not I still struggle with keeping my attention on things so thanks for making this video!
So interesting, as an adhs i use this tricks intuitive on daily basis, didn’t know these were especially for us. But please don’t say right and or left brain this is far behind the Brodmann- Areale/ System
Oh I understand why I need to note down while reading. I don't know why exactly. Reading a novel gets me bored easily. I tend to read more informative things.
now look what just happened. as i was watching i thought to myself i really need to tell my teacher to chance my seats since I can't see from the backrow, then i thought that i i sit on the front row that one annoying friend of mine won't be able to sit next to me since she hqtes being in the front rows... then i thought abaout how that annoying girl was trying to steal a guy froend of mine just because i jokingly said 'i like him' but i actually don't now she's trying to win him or something like it's a competition... smh.
Clicked on the video, got distracted playing with a lighter, got distracted again playing Minecraft, got distracted again by reels, 5 hours later still didn't finish the 8 minute video

Does ADHD medications work or they just make you a zombie and one big fluffy mush out of your brain?
As someone with adhd who watched literally 5 other videos (all of which I didn't finish), thanks for making this video engaging and not boring. I made it through! Thanks
You made me cackle and fall out of my chair cuz that’s literally what I’m doing right now.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:37 - Speed Reading (Search & Find)
2:37 - Watch Entertaining Educational Videos
3:34 - Mind Maps (and Doodling in Class)
4:48 - Mnemotics and Visuals
5:59 - Color Coding & Flashcards
Thankyou! This is super helpful :D
Thank you
You’re doing God’s work.
Thank you. I realized about a minute in that I didn't want to sit through the whole video.
Thank you 🙏🏽
THANK YOU. Finally someone who isn't simply telling me to remove distractions and just study. I have to study for my finals and everyone is just talking about what environment to study in and talking SO SLOW.
Oh my God me too! I have my first professional exam in a few days and I’m freaking out
Frrrrr🫠
My adhd brain got distracted and i literally reversed the video for every 2minutes lol
Lol sameee😂💀
EXACTLY
Yep same
Something that's been helping me is to speed the video up to 1.5 or 2x...
I paused the video to see and comment.
Speed reading genuinely helped me through highschool. I was a topper back then, so you can trust me. When i say nothing can stop you from reaching the TOP… nothing can. To all my ADHD friends…YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
I truly believe you!!! I've been there!! And NOTHING AND NOBODY CAN STOP YOU!!! Congrats!!
Omgg an adhder doctor,you give me hope as a struggling adhder medical student
As a student of stem with dyslexia and adhd, (and also being diagnosed as an adult), I’ve been looking for a channel exactly like this to help me find ways to help me figure out how my brain works!!!
Ur a real G
You absolutely have to watch the Dr. Tracey Marks videos about this subject. These are short, very informative videos that also really help.
Why did it take you a long time to get diagnosed? Didn't you know you had it as a child and teenager?
Im ADHD and obsessed with anything medical, I went on to become a basic EMT and never went any further because I struggled with focusing, now that I have the diagnosis and know how my brain works Im determined to go on and study further. thank you for the encouragement
What worked for you?😢my life sucks as medical student
@@Muhammadkaleem-to3bn I would say focusing on my end goal is inspiration on days when I feel I cant cope. I imagine myself as a successful medical practitioner and I always tell myself this has to be difficult because nothing that comes easy is worthy in life. for example maths, I hate it but force myself to get obsessed about understanding it and hyperfocus on it. If maths was easy everyone would have been genuises. its a lot about your mindset

Try bite size videos to learn new topics and practice in small intervals 10-15 minutes. I do this with my son and works well.
This video is so great for people with adhd the amount of things happening on the screen is keeping my attention!
Great video, I wish I found this sooner!!
Another tip I could add: once you've got some info studied, talk about it with friends. Like a study session, but not with only being quiet and studying together, rather interactive and your friends might have some new insight. For me at least, talking with friends made all the info stick better than only hearing it from the teacher.
Recently found out that I probably had adhd since I was a child. Hoping to gain more insight and ways to figure out this through your channel.

I spaced out twice watching this, but it does help a bit knowing I am still capable of these things because other people overcome them.
Omg i need this! I definitely have ADHD and I'm trying to get into med school. This is also a reminder to myself to save this video to my favorites.
bro thankyou a lot I find out coloring stuff make my brain easier to remember,
I wonder how do you deal with:
1. the weird feeling on your leg:
-makes me want to keep moving it like shaking your leg or walking
2. how you deal with sickness amplified feeling:
-when I was sick it being amplified it keep distracting me
This was such a clear and concise tutorial!
Wow did you make those drawings!!??? Those were insane
I make my notes very colorful so it’s easier to read and remember it based on the color
I have both of those too and dysgraphhia which effects writing. Great videos these have helped, and validated some of the tactics I used to get through tests and ordinatio.
Doodles helped me alot, i am gonna try mind maps with some courses I am working on for continued education.
Wow who would known! I know I have adhd. This technique might work for me im glad I came across this video today! Cheers 🍻 🙂
I'm glad you found it :) let me know how it goes
As someone who loves to draw while having ADHD brain, It really helps like a therapy and entertaining.
I used Khan Academy a LOT in undergrad too!
Great study tips! Especially for my adhd 😁
Glad you liked it and found it helpful :)
Your videos are truly helpful..never stop posting these :)
Thank you. I am glad you like them. I will keep making them 😁
Wow, thanks for sharing.
Flippin great video, mate. Keep these up!
Now I need you to break down each tip with examples! That’s how my brain works! Sounds great but I need to figure out how each one works and the steps for each one. I’m still confused with the mind mapping.
I stopped listening halfway through, so I know I belong here! 😂
Thank you for mentioning the medication thing. I was very curious!
So true
Love it when the experts speaks 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad you liked it :)
I hope this helps me too. Because I was studying with the rhythm and I got in top three last year. I’m chemistry student with adhd
Wow. Thank you. Left a question on your other video- this helps!
The ideas are so real here. Now I understood why i was so good in high-school. But later i didn't did the things used to do previously. Thats why i struggled in graduation. Finally now i can do the stuffs because of the stuffs here in video reminded. Thanks @doctorlegrand
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video love the pictoral wording! Really enjoyable to watch with fan tips! Thank you!!🙏👍👏
Fab tips!!!!😂🙈🙈
I have a question: Is the "Feynman Technique" effective for ADHD students?
Would love some answers in the replies.
Thank you for helping us Doc.💗
I was so happy to see that the video is short, so I wouldn’t distract myself… but got distracted in the middle 😢 damn it
But anyways, this video is the best of all I watched so far. Thank you 🥰
Thank you so much for this video🙏🏻
I didn’t understand the cards one.. could you show as a clear example like you did with the kind map? Thansk!
Khan Academy! Yessss! ❤❤❤
Great video thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤
Thanks
This helped me thank you :))
Thanks for creating this useful content 😊❤
is absorbing things slower a part of ADHD? please help because it takes me 1 hour to finish 1 page when I am studying
Thanks doc!
Thank you these are great ideas!
😂😂 the chain reference made me laugh cry because its so true!!
What do you do for attention?and focus on
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words :) And you will crush it and get into the nursing program :) Just be stubbornly persistent!
It's Very Very Informative!!
Glad you found it so informative. What study technique did you like the most and are going to start trying?
I’m a high sophomore or low junior in comp Sci. I’m half way done with my degree and have dropped calc 2 multiple times. I can never ever get myself to pay attention. I’m good at picking up patterns quite a bit. And actually understand what I’m doing, however, I cannot remember anything due to lack of studying or good quality studying.

But, I hope adhd medicine helps I pray to the Lord.😅
Is there exercises for better working memory?
There is one of them being what I mentioned in the video by applying the visuals you run into every day in life to memorize big lists.
Jim Kwik has lots of tips that are pretty dang good for adhd stuffs particularly memory!
This is gold
Thank you so much ❤
as a person who had adhd and has APUSH, THSNK you sm

Buddy the fifth technique u described is used by Sherlock Holmes THE MIND PALACE .. ur brilliant 👏
“Remember that one time that we were having so much fun and we would chain each other up” lol WHAT
I have no clue why I NEVER looked up techniques that work for my adhd brain!! Especially for all of my science classes in college!!! 😮😅😂
Hello sir, i have ADHD and i have problem making relation of subjects with objects as you were explaining in the last part.
I do follow the first two by the way and those help but i am not able to make notes and brainmap... i feel them too much taxing to me :)
any suggestions........
If you struggle taking notes you might do better by recording lectures and listening to them over and over again or have a studious classmate that makes good notes that is willing to give you a copy of them for you to study from.
Thank you
I'm not diagnosed with ADHD or anything like that although both me and my parents suspect that I may have it or something similar. But anyways, this video is still helpful even if I have ADHD or not I still struggle with keeping my attention on things so thanks for making this video!
What kind of doctor are you sir? What’s your practice? GP? Psychiatrist? Thanks
Basically what he is saying is that :
Make it a game, make it entertaining and fun
ACTIVE LEARNING !! :))
My ADHD brain almost didn't make it to the end of this video
I listened to this while cooking food so I can pay attention better
Hey finally someone with adhd and dyslexia
yeah but how do i remember to do this
So interesting, as an adhs i use this tricks intuitive on daily basis, didn’t know these were especially for us. But please don’t say right and or left brain this is far behind the Brodmann- Areale/ System
i find it hard to imagine doing some of these things in class lol, like coloring. Did you ever get any weird looks?
Oh I understand why I need to note down while reading. I don't know why exactly. Reading a novel gets me bored easily. I tend to read more informative things.
I am 15 F and suffer from Adhd should i start Adhd medication or something
Hpw can i really focus on a task?
lol forgot the first two by the time reached the 4th point!
My brain is so good with adhd that when it sees the word "study" in a video,it stops the video 😂😂
Bro I just realised this is crazy I opened the video and started scrolling on the comments
Great tips
now look what just happened. as i was watching i thought to myself i really need to tell my teacher to chance my seats since I can't see from the backrow, then i thought that i i sit on the front row that one annoying friend of mine won't be able to sit next to me since she hqtes being in the front rows... then i thought abaout how that annoying girl was trying to steal a guy froend of mine just because i jokingly said 'i like him' but i actually don't now she's trying to win him or something like it's a competition... smh.
Do you have good techniques for ADHD children and teens?
Clicked on the video, got distracted playing with a lighter, got distracted again playing Minecraft, got distracted again by reels, 5 hours later still didn't finish the 8 minute video
idk why I started to think about momentum 😭
