    I had the opposite experience, in person lectures drove me crazy as an unmedicated adhder, I’d be constantly chiming in and answering every question, my legs would be going wild under the table and I’d usually be just doing something else most of the time on the laptop. Online is much much easier to listen to and get invested in at your own time and pace because you can be eating or vaping while watching at 3AM or whatever and nobody gives a fuck

      Doodle. I always doodled in my notes. Repeating patterns worked for me, because I am no artist.

      I am still unmedicated, and method helped me a lot with lectures using pencil snd paper for notes.

      Everyones different, I failed my online college courses. In person, I do alright. You may like online better.

      But if you’re forced to sit in lecture, fuckin doodle.
