I can confirm, i have ADHD back at McGill university i was in a chemistry heavy field and what helped me keep a decent GPA despite living on my own was writing down notes and studying by reading and re writing my notes.

Thank you for sharing. It’s great to know. Maybe not related but As somebody with ADHD, how do you keep your focus on task and dismiss the distraction/ other stimulation around you?

Lots of practice, I've been fortunate to be born in the military, so i had a disciplined father and access to more tools (ie a doctor that specializes in ADHD that gave me multiple strategies to help cope) it usually is shrinking down goals into smaller chunks and writing down the entire chunk line to do the thing, so to do grocery, it's plan my menu, figure out what foods i already have, make the list, figure out the space i need (i often walk) go to the store, buy and return, put away the stuff.

For most people it's go and get grocery.
