Episode notes
Two Deadline Extremes Demand Different Plans
- Some classes overwhelm with many deadlines while others have almost none, and both are risky for ADHD brains.
- Effective planning must handle both information overload and sparse-deadline courses deliberately.
Create Your College Workbox
- Build a personalized college workbox with a calendar, note system, task manager, and LMS access.
- Choose tools that match your preferences (paper, apps, or hybrid) and commit to using them consistently.
Master Your Learning Management System
- Learn your school's learning management system thoroughly and treat it as a primary inbox.
- Spend time up front (watch tutorials or practice) so changes and announcements don't blindside you later.
