Academic Plan
Academic Plan Moving Forward -> What will help me do these things
Maintain consistent follow-up with healthcare providers to ensure ongoing stability of ADHD treatment and sleep management.
- Continue taking prescribed medication as directed: I have a useful habit app that reminds me to take medication and log when it is complete.
- Implement structured daily planning system (calendar + task tracking) to manage deadlines and coursework more effectively: ADHD medication has made executive dysfunction manageable enough to begin implementing apple calendar and reminders apps effectively.
- Break assignments into smaller, scheduled tasks with earlier internal deadlines to prevent last-minute accumulation of work:
- Begin coursework and readings earlier in the term rather than approaching deadlines reactively: Regular sleep via medication treatment and ADHD medication treatment have improved this. I plan on joining study groups to aid me in this.
- Attend all lectures, tutorials, and academic commitments consistently as a baseline expectation: Regular sleep via medication will make this much more sustainable in the long run.
- Use office hours and academic support resources proactively when struggling with course material: I am confident in talking to people when I need help. I have done so before and now that I can manage a schedule, this will be much easier.
I am prepared to decide and take action on what I deem stressful, a point of struggle, or have any issues with this upcoming academic term. I intend to take a lighter (yet still full-time) course load of either 3-4 courses. I also intend to wait an extended period of time from my academic year start date before taking on any extra curricular activities, making sure that I can manage my schoolwork before anything else. This petition is the start of my academic plan, and I intend to follow the guidelines that I have laid out for myself. One of the first steps in succeeding with this plan will be heading to Student Academic Success Services frequently to adapt and change my methods of completing tasks as I progress through the year. Find what works, continue that, and find a new iteration of what does not work.
