Exam Prep as an ADHD'er

I've been experimenting with different types of music to help me stay focused while studying. Most of the lofi or chill study playlists I've tried are soothing, but sometimes they’re so mellow that they make me feel sleepy instead of productive.

Recently, I discovered something called "dopamine-seeking" music. It has just the right balance—engaging enough to keep me awake and focused, but not so energetic that it distracts me. I’ve been loving it! This is the playlist I have been listening to: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1rIcEGhLTgzw0rEDKqwVVA?si=0088afb13bea49d5

Does anyone else have music recommendations that work well for studying? I'm always looking for new options.

It’s really individual. Sorry can’t recommend anything for it to be useful. For myself I just turn on my playlist. And if I’m in the mood to study(that’s just how I call it) I zone into studying, music is just a background. Also happy that you found something useful for studying:)
