Here because I'm 50% through the reviews I need to study for my final-final exam in 11 hours. Honestly anon, people like us are just highly intelligent and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge - this is a good thing. Though it can be inconvenient or uncomfortable when trying to accomplish necessary tasks such as homework. Though you must understand that it is crucial to get this preliminary education down by any means as it will be essential in the field. I hope that you still get your A's and B's as needed (in a timely manner). I'm sure you do, as far as ADD reduction try setting a timer for time to work, and then schedule breaks just like you were at your part time job. A co-worker told me "put as many hours into your craft/passion as you do here - for every 8 hours etc..." It makes sense to give yourself "breaks" too, but be strict with yourself. Perhaps try picturing yourself in the field while learning these assignments? Talk out loud at your desk chair as if there were two of your own students behind you taking notes on everything you said. I dunno, goodluck man. You'll be fine, at least you're trying.

Absolutely

The sad reality is that my grade variance goes from A+ to even a C, depending on the course. My lack of [effective] study ends up rearing its head in major tests/assignments. Interestingly though, with group projects, I'm never behind. I work my ass off so as to not affect the rest of the team.

Huh, this is an interesting idea. I just mentioned above that when I perceive that other people are involved, my bad habits get overridden. Perhaps I can use this to create a new frame for the concept of professional study - where I trick myself into thinking other people are dependent on it. Not ideal, but it just may work/be a stepping stone to real progress..

Thanks for your input!

I can very much identify myself with your post OP, I'm at the same situation with the same conditions.
When I was a middle schoolar some professional suggested I had ADD but we never got it diagnosted officialy.
Now being a university student I have a hard time consentrating, I thought I'd get myself diagnosed and maybe get a prescription for ritalin (Only if tests find I need it!) but the general impression I got was "Nah no need to get tested, it's natural. You have good grades and so long as you can read a book and not flank your degree you're doing fine. Just understand that your capabilities are not limitless". I'm not that happy with that. I'm not comparing myself to the average student, rather to what I CAN be if I wouldn't get distracted so easily and study so ineffectively. I didn't bother to push further about getting diagnosed...

Yeah mon, that's the spirit. Glad I could help, I do hope you find something out. Maybe study groups will help? Make friends with some q-tease and get your mind on before you grind on.
