    ADHD protip: commit to only setting up the digital workspace as soon as you get the assignment. Set up a cloud storage folder with google drive or one drive or whatever you use with:

    • a copy of the assignment outline
    • an empty document in the paper format, complete with title and reference pages
    • a folder for reference PDFs or diagrams or quotes or whatever

    Not only have I written numerous fabulously scoring assignments on my phone while taking horrifying IBS shits but also–

    –one time I set this up for a group project and sent the folder out to the members. A few days later I logged in and one of the other members who also had ADHD had basically completed the entire assignment. Cannot say whether she was shitting while writing it but it’s certainly not impossible. A day after that another group member edited it and it was ready for submission five days ahead of schedule.

    The neurochemistry isn’t actually averse to work, you just gotta catch it at the right angle.
