My girlfriend has ADHD and has is usually procrastinating studying (she has a big exam in a few months), is there anything I can do to help her with this without being prying? (dormi.zone)

Plan in a session each day and be next to her, just watching her.

That would be what helps me most, planning in a timespan and then having someone look at me to not fuck it up

This, plus the support of someone important is usually enough motivation for me to get my shit together. And when I feel like my pace is slowing or starting to get tired, we fool around a bit together which helps a lot. But it is of course different from person to person.
