Hey there, future esquire! Are you finding yourself stuck in the quicksand of procrastination when it comes to bar prep?
I’m Jennifer Duclair, your friendly Bar Exam Mindset Mentor and Attorney Life Coach am here to share some game-changing tips, especially if ADHD or similar challenges are throwing a wrench in your study plans.
Understanding Your Study Strengths: ADHD Edition
Ever feel like your attention is playing hide-and-seek with your study materials? Fear not! The key is to identify your study strengths. Dive into activities that align with your brain's preferences, whether it's through kinesthetic actions or auditory engagement. I highly recommend finding your groove and tailoring your study plan accordingly. Imagine strolling through the park, acing flashcard quizzes, all while getting fresh air—sounds like a dream, right?
Soundtrack Your Success: Battling Background Noise
What if you could turn background noise from a distraction into your secret weapon? You can create your study playlist. Choose a song that puts you in your happy place and let it become the background noise to your bar prep journey. This not only drowns out distracting thoughts but also enhances your memory recall during the exam. Who knew studying could be this harmonious?
Drowning Distractions with Deliberate Noise: A Happy Side Effect
Attention-splitting thoughts have a way of derailing focus. Combat this by filling that mental space with your chosen distraction—a happy song. Whether it's melodies or lyrics, let the music keep those wandering thoughts at bay. From my experience, this created a habit that not only tackles attention issues during study sessions but also aids in information recall during exams.
Focus-Boosting Beats: The Ultimate Study Tool
Ready for a study tool that enhances focus without chaining you to headphones? Head over to YouTube and explore channels offering focus waves, or binaural beats. Look for beta or gamma waves that elevate focus and cognitive abilities. I personally swear by isochronic tones, a tool that's freely available to anyone with internet access, ensuring intense focus and efficient study sessions.
