A SIMPLE 4-STEP PROCESS TO

ACE YOUR COURSES & STILL HAVE WEEKENDS OFF

Even if you’re drowning in deadlines, default to last-minute scrambles, and have already tried every planner and productivity app out there.

Win back 10 hours of your week with calendar engineering and real accountability

Join the ADHD Crash Course for College to plug proven micro-systems into your calendar. Lean on a licensed teacher–therapist for live coaching, pop into our virtual coworking rooms, and crowd-source answers on the message board. No full-scale overhaul, no “pushing through,” just shared accountability that makes “work harder” obsolete.

The possibility

What if, just a few weeks from now, you could:.

  • Turn in every assignment early—no more all nighters or 2 a.m. panic sessions.

  • Keep most evenings and weekends wide-open for spontaneous hangs, road trips, and real rest.

  • See your GPA climb while your stress drops.

  • Carve out time to land that résumé-boosting internship before finals hit.

  • Wake up each day with a crystal-clear game plan instead of a chaotic to-do list.

Sound familiar?

You’re a good student, or you used to be… But what worked for you in high school isn’t working anymore.

  • Your to-do list grows faster than you can mark things off of it—assignments, work shifts, texts from friends—and you’re not sure what to do first.

  • Each Sunday you promise, “This is the week I get ahead,” but by Wednesday you’re back to late-night catch-up.

  • Productivity apps, planners, sticky notes… you’ve tried them all, and none have stuck long enough to matter.

  • Without teachers or parents checking in, deadlines feel distant—until they’re not—and the stress spike wipes out your weekend.

  • You’d love a clear way forward, but the thought of choosing another system feels as heavy and complicated as the work itself.

If that sounds like you, I’ve got you. This course has my best productivity and dopamine hacks to get your life together AND have one too.

As the semester unfolds, a few patterns keep surfacing:

“I should be able to handle this on my own.” You’ve always met the bar, so seeking structured help feels like admitting defeat rather than choosing efficiency.

01

“Once I get past midterms, things will calm down.” But then it’s the next round of projects, and the workload never truly lets up.

02

“Everyone else looks like they’re doing fine.” Comparison turns quiet struggles into self-doubt, reinforcing the loop of pushing harder instead of working smarter.

03

You really can graduate with honors without sacrificing your social life or yourself

This hybrid digital course weaves short, on-demand lessons with live group coaching and a private community to give early-college students practical systems for managing classes, work, and life. By the end, you’ll consistently finish assignments ahead of schedule, protect real downtime, and feel confident in a routine built for both strong grades and a fuller college experience.

What if next semester looked like this…

  • You wrap up essays and lab reports days before they’re due, then head out to dinner with friends without a hint of guilt.

  • Monday morning starts with a clear plan, not a scramble, because every class, shift, and study block already has a home on your calendar.

  • Group projects feel manageable; you know what to delegate, when to ask for help, and how to keep everyone (including yourself) on track.

  • Weekends are wide open for games, hikes, or simply catching your breath, because your routine protects real downtime.

  • Grades rise, stress drops, and you finally experience college as more than a string of deadlines.

If any of that sounds out of reach right now, know it isn’t. I’ve built a step-by-step program to help you create a balanced life with great grades AND great friends.

This course is a great fit if you:

➔ You can set aside about 30 minutes a week to watch bite-size lessons and put the steps into practice.
➔ You’re comfortable posting questions or wins in a group chat and jumping on live calls when you need clarity.
➔ You already dabble in podcasts, study hacks, or journaling and want a single system that ties it all together.
➔ You’re willing to show up for most weekly calls (or catch the replay soon after).

You’ll likely need a different level of support if …

➔ You often buy courses and never make it past the first module.
➔ You’re looking for one-on-one therapy, tutoring, or hands-on scheduling done for you.
➔ You have zero interest in experimenting with new routines or tools right now.
➔ Your calendar is so packed that even a brief weekly check-in feels impossible.

YOU. GOT. THIS.

Yes, there are a dozen decisions tugging at you every week: which readings to skim, which shifts to take, which invite to accept.
Yes, your mind is crammed with lectures, lab notes, and reminders that never seem to fit on one to-do list.
Yes, you’ll try new study blocks, swap in fresh planning tools, keep what sticks, and ditch what drags.
Yes, you’ll meet moments of doubt and learn to steer instead of stall.

And every step is lighter with a support system.

  • Clear Blueprint: We’ll walk you through the four stages of a smooth semester—Map out your semester, How to prioritize, How to leverage downtime, and Biohacking ADHD—so you always know what’s next.

  • Live Community: Tap into a private group of students working the same process, sharing wins, and trading real-world tips.

  • Weekday Guidance: Post questions Monday–Friday and get practical answers from me and your cohort, no waiting until the next call.

Your part? Show up, give the tools an honest try, and let yourself be supported. The course handles the rest.

  • Enrollment is open year-round. Join today and you’ll keep lifetime access to all current lessons and every future round of live calls and content updates.

  • Replays are posted within 24 hours in your Thrivecart portal, so you can watch (or re-watch) on your own schedule.

    • One 1-on-1 calendar audit with Dawn to fine-tune your plan.

    • Bi-weekly drop-in office hours after the cohort wraps.

    A recommended “Tech Stack” is part of our curriculum!

  • Tuition is $147 (one-time payment). Scholarships are available—email dawn@dawnbowes.com for an application.

  • Not at this time. Because you receive immediate, lifetime access to the material, all sales are final.

  • Proactive college students (first- or second-year) who are ready to test new study strategies, organize their syllabus deadlines, and build capacity for independent success.

  • If you’re seeking an ongoing accountability partner, subject-specific tutoring, or clinical ADHD treatment, this program isn’t the right fit. In that case, consider one-on-one coaching or academic-support services on campus.

  • Students who implement the system typically submit work earlier, raise grades, and experience less overwhelm. Your outcomes depend on applying the strategies, attending the workshops, and using the support offered.

MY LAST PIECE OF ADVICE

Student to student—we both understand what’s on the line here.

We know that running on caffeine and adrenaline can’t carry you through four (or more) years without a cost.

We know that sustainable success starts with systems that respect your brain, your energy, and your life outside the classroom.

We know the only routines that last are the ones built around how you naturally work best—not someone else’s highlight reel.

That’s exactly why ADHD Crash Course for College exists.

If you’ve made it this far down the page, you probably feel that it’s time. So come on in, and let’s build a semester you can actually enjoy.
