4/17 Finals Week Prep

Hi all! Devon is in the hospital with a medical emergency so I will be leading our next meeting!

As the semester wraps up, DNA is hosting a relaxed, strategy-focused session on how to plan, pace, and survive finals week when your brain doesn’t always cooperate with traditional study methods. Whether you deal with executive-function overload, time-blindness, chronic fatigue, or just plain burnout, this session is about finding systems that actually work for you.

We’ll cover:

• How to prioritize when everything feels urgent — triaging tasks across multiple exams

• Breaking down multi-day study schedules for brains that struggle with structure

• Creating realistic “energy maps” for focus, fatigue, and symptom management

• Using sensory-friendly and body-aware study methods (movement, fidgets, sound, lighting)

• Tools for memory retention when traditional repetition doesn’t stick

• How to prevent the post-exam crash — sleep, nutrition, and recovery for neurodivergent bodies
