I'm finding the "study habits" session much harder, I find a lot of common techniques don't work too well, plus I'm pretty sure I have trauma both from badly-applied anxiety treatments and from poorly-managed ADHD in my undergraduate degree.

It feels like a lot of the techniques (e.g. make lists, do hardest tasks first, pomodoro, prioritising, Eisenhower matrix) assume you don't have a brain that hates you and will sabotage you at any moment and energy levels that crap out on you if you're not careful. I'm not just managing time I'm managing a brain that doesn't work to neurotypical expectations and about half the spoons most people are used to

Oh and don't forget about the crappy memories, those are incredibly distracting
