Honestly - developing study habits is something that takes time and practice. As someone with ADHD, I am still trying to ingrain good study habits haha Some things that I have found to be helpful:

- Make lists. Just make a huge big list of all the things that you need to/want to get done. It helps to get everything out there where you can see it.
- Prioritize. Take your list and figure out which things have deadlines and how importance each thing is (e.g. you might want to set aside more time to study for next week's exam that is worth 40% of the final grade than the optional homework assignment due the next day that is worth 2 extra credit points).
- Break up each assignment into manageable chunks. I do well when I can move from one thing to another. However, for some people, completely switching gears midway through an assignment is harder than just pushing through.
- Take breaks
- Make sure that you are eating, drinking water, and taking some time to get some fresh air and/or exercise.
- Get enough sleep
