Kitchen tables rarely support deep focus. Students with ADHD need a study nook that balances sensory comfort, movement, and smart reminders. Here’s how to build one without spending a fortune.

Shape the Environment

Zone the desk

Keep only current subject materials on the surface, store fidget tools within reach, and use a weighted lap pad for grounding. Research on classroom environments shows that reduced visual clutter supports sustained attention for ADHD learners.[1]

Control sensory input

Use noise-dampening panels or a simple fabric backdrop behind the desk. Schedule “sensory resets” with gentle stretches between subjects. Chaos can auto-schedule these breaks so they aren’t forgotten.

Engineer Support

Body doubling on demand

Book Chaos focus rooms during revision periods or invite a friend to co-work virtually. Psychology Today notes that body doubling helps ADHD brains maintain engagement by mirroring social accountability.[2]

Automate assignment tracking

Forward syllabus emails to Chaos or let the assistant pull deadlines from classroom portals. Align revision blocks with techniques in our AI study support blueprint.

With the environment dialled in, Chaos keeps the workflow moving so students can focus on understanding, not logistics.
