hi @fluffylight
i have never heard of a body double but it sounds really good! i dont have ADHD myself but i feel like that would be good for me as i get so overwhelmed with tasks sometimes!

In response to: Re: Studying support

Re: Studying support

Yes @outlander I feel like anyone can benefit from body doubling!

Let me know if you ever try it!

Hope it might be a tool to ease your overwhelm 🙂

Re: Studying support

i will definently have a look into it @fluffylight

i find breaking down tasks helpful, completing one section at a time and sometimes doing the easy tasks first benefical. sometimes i break it into easy task then harder task then easy so it feels like i actually get somewhere with my assignments

Re: Studying support

Oh!! This is a good idea. @outlander Breaking it into easy-hard-easy.

Sometimes my assignments go nowhere and I spend hours just being distracted and staring at the screen 😐

Re: Studying support

yes definently @fluffylight

one of my recent tafe assignments were 65 pages long! so that was super overwhelming to try and get through

In response to: Re: Studying support

Re: Studying support

@outlander Congrats on getting through that - that sounds like an awful amount of work.

Re: Studying support

honestly it wasnt to hard it was just time consuming and has so much fluffing around in it for workplace stuff @fluffylight if all of the stuff was straight to the point it probably wouldve only been around 30 pages and most of it was just ticking stuff off that i have completed in the workplace for the prac stuff

Re: Studying support

Oh that's good @outlander

Yes I did a Tafe course in Individual Support that had the same sort of fluffing around needed for workplace - I'm glad that's over.

In response to: Re: Studying support

Re: Studying support

yes @fluffylight the course im in now that combined individual support and disability is much the same i think

In response to: Re: Studying support

Re: Studying support

Yes! @outlander for my Individual Support course I had to do 3 weeks of placement and a lot of ticking and fluffing around with the work given.

How is it going for you?
