Im the opposite. A lot of drawing inertia, but when I finally get into it suddenly 5 hours passes in the blink of an eye.

Same. Unless I feel tired after finishing a drawing. Still draw every day.

that's why people use things like timers and randomized slideshows. makes it easier to focus when you create a bit of external structure and know you've got a definite stop point.

Turn down computer, get a book, a pencil and some paper. At least once in a while / for some time; can't hurt.

Probably undiagnosed ADD. Symptoms are hyper focus and procrastination. I have to have 2-3 art projects at the same time so when I procrastinate on one I can focus on the other.

Another option is to shut off their internet connection temporarily while they draw so they aren't tempted

I used to force drawing a lot, mostly because I ingrained being a drawer person into my identity (a mistake). Then I started writing, my prose were nice and even beautiful. I became obsessed and can't stop, haven't gamed in forever, etc. I didn't want to be a writer, and wanted to obsess over art. But if this how I am then why fight it? Art might not be your obsession so maybe explore other hobbies to find something thing that is?

if you've never needed more than passion then you've never bothered pushing yourself.

I truly do enjoy and love drawing, my attention just goes to shit in front of a multitasking accessory like a computer.

Well your issue might be with dopamine addiction which is fairly common with our current generation. Before trying to build a strong work ethic on your drawing, maybe shift energy to cutting out the cheapest, fastest sources of pleasure and letting your focus return to you automatically. This might mean unplugging the computer and switching to pen and paper like some other anons have said. Maybe quitting something else (perhaps porn or videogames) will heal your attention span to the point where even your open tabs are not enough to interrupt you. Dropping to a single monitor worked very well for me for instance. Good luck, do not underestimate your struggle.

I do do this sometimes where I'll put my computer to sleep and only use my ipad as my reference source since it can only do one or two things tops at a time, that helps me focus a lot.
