Having a Routine.

A regular hectic routine is very important for people with ADHD. The mind and body need to keep active the entire day. Breaking down big blocks of time is useful. Try not to do something for more than 30 minutes straight.

For example, if you need to study for 3 hours, try breaking that time down into 6 sessions with a short 5 minutes run/exercise/swim in between.
