The easiest and most efficient way to improve focus is to remove distractions.
You won't be as inclined to smoke if you don't have any cigarretes. You won't get drunk if you have no alcohol.
The same principle applies here. Block access to websites you don't want to visit or, if that's not enough, literally unplug your computer.
I was in a similar situation and I did a "dopamine detox week" where I turned off every single electronic device I had. I was bored sometimes sure but it worked wonders. I haven't played any vidya since and I've started reading books a lot more (non-fiction).

This is unfair to the people on meth. A meth-head can stay up for a week or more. Meth-heads also have tweaker strength. On adderall I can go three days and then I'm sick for a week. If you binge adderall like meth, you'll get all the bad effects after like a day or so.

It's really not like meth at all. Meth is fucking poison. Adderall isn't poison in erdos-level doses, like a few dozen mg or some shit per day as a substitute for coffee.

Yeah almost like none of these things are addictions, and the only reason people want to use addiction narratives is so that they can deploy 12 step cult gaslighting to activities they dislike for personal or religious reasons

the main reason meth is so popular in US is because pharmacy speed is expensive as fuck off the street. like 1 adderall pill can be like $30 unless it's cut with meth or a mix of other bullshit. meth is pretty shit by contrast, you can sleep on pharmacy adderall but meth tweaks your body out like hell and lasts like 20 hours off a dose

You don't feel like some kind of productive robot while on the meds? I'm on Aderall IR and that's the one thing I really hate about it. It's nice having productivity but I hate feeling like an emotionless husk.

I've wasted 10 years struggling through school denying the diagnostic and refusing to sacrifice my body to big pharma reptilians.
Suffered a severe mental breakdown 2 years ago due to forcing myself to study and was given zoloft and after a while bupropion. My mind is clear, memory better than ever and motivation improved. I effortlessly absorb anything I read.
Good luck with whatever you choose though.

yeah that sleep catches up to you, adderall just puts a mask on all of it. do you crash in the evening off it? melatonin is probably the best option to help, benadryl is ok. alcohol is for an emergency sleep basically. id imagine if you were to cut it off you'd sleep like 12 hours for a few days.

also get into cardio, it helps like every side effect adderall has.

No crashes in the evening. When I was on XR I would crash horribly in the middle of the day. But on IR it hits me differently and I don't really feel a crash unless I get dehydrated. It might be because it's finals week though and I've been stressed out more than usual. For most of the quarter I've been sleeping fine but still even back then I still felt abnormal mentally when on the meds.

Cal Newport's advice is solid if you put it into practice.

Here's a hypothesis about procrastination. It's a reaction to unintentional forgetting a task that is more important according to one's core values. The procrastination activities are motivated by an innate mechanism that rediscoveres forgotten memories. Psychologists use the term 'regression' but it just means that you forgot a major life goal because you were focused on something else. It's still at the back of your mind associated with your core values, which are associated with whatever triggers the procrastination.

Not that anon, but these are some long lists of websites that get blocked given you put them in your hosts file.
As the page says they are good at blocking social media websites, gambling, porn whatever you want.
Basically your computer will redirect all the connections to these sites to an invalid ip address (0.0.0.0).
