How do I study/Find Motivation?

I'm in uni Chemical Engineering and I need to know how to study, because I have undiagnosed ADHD & Autism (long story/I'm dead serious) and it's fucking up my studies majorly, every time I want to study I freeze up and guilt myself about not studying but never do unless I'm with someone.

I would suggest you keeping studying with other people if that works but if you have to study alone i suggest studying outside around people(at coffee shops etc) or use sites like”I miss my cafe” to pretend it’s that environment or use regular music(without lyrics) but if those don’t work don’t beat yourself up over it! there are a bunch of studying tips on Pinterest! happy studying!!

One thing that works well for me with motivation is a reward system ! Whether it be snacks, a game or even a YouTube video, if you set a goal e.g if you find a quote for your essay you get a couple gummy bears, but if you don't you can't have the gummy bears. This doesn't really work if you're easily tempted by the reward tho
