How To Optimise Your Studying
When you’re trying to arrange learning sessions:
- Try and ensure that you’re planning to learn at the best time of day/night to suit your learning of that kind of material
- Consider at what time your energy levels are best
- Ensure it’s a time when you won’t be distracted
- Ensure that you’ll have enough time to learn at your own pace
What’s the Science Behind the Right Environment for Learning?
Neurodiverse individuals often face challenges trying to adapt to a neurotypical world. Instead, focus on creating a learning environment that works for you. Align your study sessions with your natural rhythms—if you’re a night owl, studying in the evening may be ideal. Tailoring your environment and timing to your needs can make learning more effective and enjoyable.
