How to pay attention in a lecture
I know it’s summer, but I don’t take meds and lectures this year killed me. Is there some way that makes this easier? Caffeine helps but what else?

If you take online classes, buy a height adjustable desk and an behind-desk walking pad. You can walk on the walking pad on low speed during the online course. It helps a LOT! As for being in the class physically… that’s a different beast 🫠 Actively taking notes helps. We just have to accept that we’re not gonna be perfect 100% of the time. 🙂
For me personally was literally writing or doing some doodles. But is still very difficult if the professor didn't explain or talk very clearly (no clear explanation = no clear notes aaaaaa) In alternative I registered some lectures (I don't like listening again the lecture. Other people do this... not me)
That’s a tough one. I am having a hard time paying attention when it’s not an interesting subject or an interesting topic but with a terrible presentation. The hat I had to learn for myself was, to figure out if something is a boring part of an interesting bigger picture, or if I am on the wrong track. Being mindful about something being boring, but still important for a goal that motivates me, helps me to focus. (At least enough)
