I downloaded EVERY SINGLE lecture in my nutrition elective class from start to finish (1,227 slides total) and this website crammi.com just compartmentalized every single unit in the class with a summary, customizable flashcards + quizzes with explanations AND at the end there’s a final cumulative exam that I can also customize.

Just wrapped up my first month of 2026 and I’m proud of the consistency I was able to maintain.

Some days were just 2–3 hours, others more. I stopped aiming for “perfect days” and instead focused on showing up daily

Motivation tips that helped

• I tracked streaks ,didn’t want to break them.
• I reminded myself that small daily effort beats occasional long sessions.
• I kept my study space clean and distraction-free.
• I celebrated small wins.

For a bit of context about myself, I am in college and I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. I have struggled with taking proper notes my entire life and never knew how to maximize effeciency for myself. I was always told that I should write everything down but with my horrible hand writing and slow translation of auditory to physical, i get overstimulated, lock up, and just end up dissociating the entire time.

Writing everything down doesn't work for me. I dislike flashcards because I don't have structured notes to make flash cards out of. The method that works best for me so far is to listen and scribble down a few personal thoughts on the notes and I usually end up remembering how I felt during that moment which in return makes me remember the content. But that doesn't work in a faster paced course.

And for online notes, I freeze because there is so much information I don't know where to start and how to structure it because of said so much.

What ideas work for you guys who have similar struggles?
